"Store what you eat, eat what you store "

"Use whole foods to make your own mixes "

"Buy an extra 2 for every one you buy"

"Mark with a use by date'


These are all the things that come to mind when we think about food storage, we are all overwhelmed with the thought of trying to gather a years worth of food. Many of us purchase things that we know are important to have in case of emergency, but are unsure of how to use the items we store.


"Acquire and store a reserve of food and supplies that will sustain life. Obtain clothing and build a savings account on a sensible, well-planned basis that can serve well in times of emergency. As long as I can remember, we have been taught to prepare for the future and to obtain a year’s supply of necessities. I would guess that the years of plenty have almost universally caused us to set aside this counsel. I believe the time to disregard this counsel is over. With events in the world today, it must be considered with all seriousness."
L. Tom Perry, “‘If Ye Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear’,” Ensign, Nov 1995, 35

Our goal, as part of the home management group is to help sister establish food storage that they can use interchangeably with their pantry on a daily basis. We hope that sister will be able to use this site as a guide/reference and motivate themselves. we also hope that an exchange of information will occur between sisters about resources that are available.

"The revelation to produce and store food may be as essential to our temporal welfare today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah"

President Ezra Taft Benson
(ENSIGN, Nov. 1980,p.33)

"We encourage Church members worldwide to prepare for adversity in life by having a basic supply of food and water and some money in savings."
"We ask that you be wise as you store food and water and build your savings. Do not go to extremes; it is not prudent, for example, to go into debt to establish your food storage all at once. With careful planning, you can, over time, establish a home storage supply and a financial reserve."
—The First Presidency
