Although Wednesdays are usually known as the halfway point to the work week, the "hump day," in the unassuming community of Mt. Pleasant, Utah, Wednesdays mean something very different: an opportunity to serve.

Three stakes combine weekly to donate their time and talents in various service projects. The projects range from hygiene kits to toys, medical dolls to quilts, and all are done with a smile.

Linda Levitt, a founder of the project, described how it has grown.

It began as a stake activity six years ago. Then the stake's humanitarian leader, Levitt would meet monthly with ward humanitarian leaders and call the LDS Humanitarian Center to see what projects needed doing. Soon, she and her husband, Keith, were called as humanitarian missionaries and given special instruction to see to the humanitarian needs of the entire area.
