The S.A. is a great organization, but the LDS church has the highest donation to helping ratio. 100%. None of the donated money goes to administrative costs.

The Lutheran Church has the largest food donation organization around the world

Not to disparage the Lutherans, but the LDS church has the largest food donation organization, I believe. They own cattle ranches in Florida, farms in the midwest, England and various other nations. The welfare complex in Salt Lake sits on 13.6 acres and includes grain silos, a 178 foot grain elevator, a 22,000 square foot cannery complex, a 50,000 square foot milk processing facility, and a bakery, not to mention sorting and storage facilities for clothing, medical supplies, etc. In 1985, the church had 199 farms and ranches, 51 canneries, 27 large grain storage facilites, and 36 small grain storage facilities, and the program has continued to expand as membeship has increased. Since 1985, the church has shipped over $450 million worth of food to the needy. During famines in Ethiopia in 2003, the church shipped 250 tons of atmit in addition to its other humanitarian efforts.

It really is an amazing organization. The church doesn't trumpet about it too much, so most people are unaware just how vast and expansive it is.

That truly is wonderful, let's leave it at that (my Lutheran info was about 10 years ago, perhaps they've been surpassed).

But the LDS church leads people to hell with it heretical teachings that rail against the Truth of the Bible. That - by definition - is not good. Recall how Egon, in Ghostbusters, said "crossing the streams would be bad"? That's how lies presented as Christ's Gospel are. Bad.
