The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has deployed 150 to 200 volunteers daily to assist communities devastated by wildfires in southern Chile, working in coordination with government authorities and those of other faiths.

From the beginning of the emergency, Church leaders contacted affected individuals and families directly, offering support, comfort and material assistance while organizing concrete actions to meet urgent needs.

Volunteer service has been one of the main pillars of the response, with daily participation including youth, adults and families. Volunteers assisted with collecting, sorting and transporting donations, as well as providing on-the-ground support.

These efforts were coordinated with local authorities, municipalities and emergency agencies to ensure aid reached the hardest-hit areas.
