The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not releasing dollar figures regarding donations or aid it has collected to help tsunami victims, but spokesperson Dale Bills says contributions have been "significant."

In a statement released Friday, the church said in part: "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has already provided emergency supplies in southern Asia for short-term relief, is now evaluating how to help tsunami victims rebuild their lives and communities in the months and years to come. Church representatives are working closely with government officials in the affected countries, assessing how the church should best direct its humanitarian resources."

The church said members and friends may continue to make donations online at www.lds.org/humanitarian or by mailing them to: Humanitarian Aid Fund, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 50 East North Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84150 (or call 801-240-3544).
