The LDS Church delivered 6 tons of food Tuesday to the Chilean city of Talca.

Church spokesman Scott Trotter said the donation -- from LDS food-supply warehouses in Chile known as Bishop's Storehouses -- is meant to help meet needs in several quake-devastated cities north of Concepción.

A second shipment of 20 tons of food was expected to reach Concepción later. Two additional shipments have been sent to affected areas south of Concepción.

Chile has more than half a million Mormons.
