Not surprising at all.
In the little desert valley where we (husband and I) have a place every year ALL the churches get together and have a Thanksgiving feast at the community center. (area only has about 5,000 people). They come together, after planning for months this event to feed and celebrate with those in need.
EXCEPT the lds ward, oh they have an event but it is only for their members - period.

Dont worry Grey ...

The homeless and needy can always come to the Christian Church I attend and get food and clothing and help...

We infidel/apostate whore-of-Babylon Christians are strange that way...

It all depends on which Jesus you follow...

The mormon man jesus or the LORD Jesus Christ who is the God of the Christian Bible..

Shedding Blood on the Cross and dying on the Cross makes all the difference...

You’d think that the LDS hosting an everybody-welcome Thanksgiving Day event would be a PERFECT opportunity to give their Gentile guests the full mishie witnessing hard sell.

They could even say that turkeys were first brought to North America by the Nephites.

YES. The LDS Church provides welfare support to millions of people on a day to day basis.

NO. The LDS Church doesn’t grandstand by opening soup kitchens just two days a year ... Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I guess that they simply leave the hypocrisy to others who are willing to grandstand two days a year.

.... after all, Christ said that when you do your alms ...let not your right hand know what your left hand doeth.

In other words .... you guys are demostrating your Christian Hypocrisy!

Please provide a link to substantiate that the mormon church provides welfare support to non-members...

The mormon church has a patent on "grandstanding" its charitable work...including having members wear yellow tee shirts to flaunt membership when they show up at disasters.

There are thousands of Christian churches that provide for the poor and needy 365 days a year...to NON-members as well as their own who have no need to advertise.

Who could miss the Salvation Army?

Another Example HERE

Samaritan's Purse

Our local Baptist church always had a dinner for the community during Thanksgiving week and Christmas week.

Soon they were overwhelmed with people, not homeless or hungry, just looking for a free meal. The guests always ate first and soon there was no food for the regular church attendees.
Children running everywhere, massive waste (Alligator eyes and a squirrel’s behind), food fights.

It was finally stopped by having the dinner for church members AND INVITED GUESTS only.

The rabble were going from church to church gobbling down, and wasting, the free food.

The freeloaders will always be with us, I guess.

One of my churches would deliver complete Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to families in the community, no membership required. They also had a congregational dinner for the members, and many non-members would attend.

"I guess that they simply leave the hypocrisy to others who are willing to grandstand two days a year."

Not so. The local churches support and coordinate with the local homeless shelters [or as you put it, "soup kitchens"] in my area year round. There are budgets within many of the local CHRISTIAN congregations to support this very thing to ensure that meals are ALWAYS available.

The support you mention about welfare has more to do with mormons receiving support than non-members, that's just the way it is. And you know what? After a certain amount of time [or amount of $$], the people are cut off from receiving the welfare.

About the hypocrisy, is that why the mormons feel compelled to wear those yellow shirts and have press releases and news conferences whenever they decide to help out?

I live in SLC and I'm non-LDS. I had some non-LDS friends that are pathetic with their money that got help from the church. The church does help non-LDS folks too.
