Pass it around

Ask your leaders to let you pass this permissions form around the class in relief society and in priesthood meetings.

Opt-In

With their written consent, Opt-In online for each member. This is more effective than asking members to Opt-In.

Make Calls

Phone members you have missed and ask for permission to Opt-In for them.

Download the monthly Ward Welfare Handout. Photocopy and share copies around in priesthood and in relief society. Print it on the back of any photocopied handouts you give to ward members in quorums or in Relief Society. It’s different each month.
It’s a second way to reach your members every month. It also reaches members who do not have email.

You need skilled members with welfare-related talents to educate the ward.

They’re more likely to be motivated and confident.

Search for talent and skills within your ward. Particularly welfare skills. I handed scrap-paper and pens around in Relief Society and Priesthood. It took just 7 minutes. I asked people to write down their name, then list any talents or skills they had in the areas of food storage, food production, gardening, and provident living.

Invite members who are already skilled to share their skills and talents.

Plan Exhibits

Great welfare exhibits include small demonstrations as part of relief society, enrichment, priesthood meetings and stake conference. Ask your experts to do these.

Our stake conference closed 40 minutes early and moved into the cultural hall for a social-fun, information-packed cluster of welfare exibits by twenty different welfare experts. We drank soup made from home storage items. Chatted. Looked. Learned new ideas. Got enthused. It had a lasting impact on the whole stake.
