The journey of a single peach, which passed through the hands of thousands of Latter-day Saint volunteers to the mouths of a hurricane-torn family, contains a simple lesson for all of us — that through small and simple acts of service the church can collectively accomplish something large.

The peaches were delivered to a church cannery in Lindon, Utah County, where they were cleaned and processed by additional volunteers.
