A food donation truck from Latter-day Saint Humanitarian Services came to Cherry Street Mission on Monday! Over 37,500 pounds of food arrived at a time when the organization really needed it. We're grateful for the important work Cherry Street Mission does in our community, and we're excited whenever we get a chance to support them.

Pictured in the first photo are (left to right) Bill Mullins; Kary Jo Gribble, who works at Cherry Street Mission and assisted with the donation; and Kali Sawaya. Bill and Kali serve in local Latter-day Saint congregations.

Come visit the Cleveland Ohio Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We’d love to have you!

We welcome everyone to come learn about the temple. This includes members of the Church, members of the community, and anyone who just wants to see what a temple is about.

Temples are sacred buildings designed to help God’s children feel close to Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. Once the temple is dedicated, entrance is reserved for members of the Church. This open house is a unique opportunity for everyone to tour this sacred house of the Lord and enjoy the beautiful grounds.
