Bishop Burton was presented with the Utah Youth Village Helping Hand Award for his “extraordinary love and support to children” and for his “years of unparalleled service and commitment to the local community in Utah and to the betterment of communities worldwide,” according to Eric Bjorklund, president of the Utah Youth Village.
Several other local agencies also praised Bishop Burton and the Church for its ongoing worldwide humanitarian efforts. A video was shown at the award ceremony illustrating some of the Church’s efforts.
Later this month Newsroom will feature an extensive look at the many facets of the Church’s far-reaching welfare and humanitarian aid programs.
