QUESTION: Why do you need to have FOOD STORAGE?
A disaster such as a flood, an earthquake, or a snowstorm could hit a city of an entire region, cutting off roads and making it impossible for FOOD and other items to be transported to the markets. Political unrest or strikes by truckers, shippers, or rail workers could interfere with the transport of FOODS. Other types of disasters, such as famine resulting from drought, hurricanes, floods, and even wars, have occurred in many countries and could occur again. When such disasters affect the entire community, FOOD and other supplies often cannot be obtained, even if money is available. A family can also experience in the form of illness or unemployment that results in a lack of income, making it necessary to rely on home FOOD STORAGE!
QUESTION: Where do I get started or continue my storage?
1) Sign up for the cannery items that are available each month. Sign-up sheets are in the Relief Society binder.
2) Buy food at bulk at places like Costco or Sam's Club or during case lot sales at the grocery store.
