How can you contact a missionary?
Referring to Mormon Missionaries (Missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). The missionaries are not paid by the church or by anyone else. They are volunteers who support themselves having saved their money before they volunteered to serve a mission, or they are supported by their parents or families while on their mission. If you try to give them money they will not accept it by church policy. So, if you would like to assist Mormon missionaries financially, you may make a contribution to the church mission fund. To do this, obtain a 'donations slip and envelope' from any local Mormon church. Fill out the slip, keep your copy, include a check and and mail it to the address on the pre-printed envelope. A missionary will not accept the envelope; it is best to put it in the mail. This contribution is generally tax deductible, but check with your financial advisor.
