From the church website:

10. “On 6April 1880, Church members celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the Church. They called it a Jubilee Year, as the ancient Israelites had named every fiftieth year. President Taylor forgave many of the debts owed to the Church by its needy members. The Church also contributed 300 cows and 2,000 sheep to be distributed among its ‘deserving poor.’ [See Roberts, Comprehensive History of the Church, 5:592.] The Church’s Relief Society sisters donated almost 35,000 bushels of wheat to those in need. President Taylor also urged Church members to forgive individual debt, especially among the distressed. ‘It is the time of Jubilee!’ he declared [Roberts, Comprehensive History of the Church, 5:593]. A spirit of forgiveness and joy was strongly felt among the Latter-day Saints.

I don’t think anything was done in 1930 or 1980.

In 1980 we elected Ronald Reagan…
