摩爾門援助之手聚集耶穌基督後期聖徒教會的成員和他們的鄰舍來提供社區服務。這群志願者穿起他們用作標誌的黃色襯衣，去幫助那些生活被自然災害以及其他緊急事故影響的人。摩爾門援助之手的志願者亦與政府和非牟利組織合作，來支持和改善那些受助人所居住的社區。
援助之手計劃反映出摩爾門教徒藉著服務他人來跟隨耶穌基督的榜樣之渴望。這計劃從教會的人道服務中獲得資源，而所有服務項目都由當地的教會領袖負責協調。

摩爾門援助之手計畫自1998年成立以來，已獲得數以十萬計的志願者奉獻出數百萬個小時來服務他們的社區。此項計劃在南美洲開始，但現已延伸至世界上幾乎每一個角落。
尼日利亞的志願者查爾斯‧阿迪巴約總結了眾多摩爾門援助之手計畫參與者的感想，他說：「當我們為自己以外的人設想時，我們找到了真正的快樂。這是真正的喜樂。」
