I am a member of the church and we do believe that we should always be prepared for the unknown. Our family personally has had to live on our stores while my husband was out of work for several months a couple of years ago and this has just impressed the importance of preparing even furthur. <br /><br />In reply to the efficiency you noted, I was able to go to a humanitarian project at the BYU campus once and I was in utter amazement! There were about 100tables set up and each table had about 4-6 people at it and in just over 1 hour our table packaged 3000personal hygiene kits for disaster relief. So if we were the average that means that we were able to do 30,000 kits as a whole in just about 1 hour!!! It was awsome!<br /><br />BTW our local cannery says that they have just as many Non-members using the cannery as members now. So don't feel alone.Laura Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986017395086564698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328992626141249699.post-25286937580302291152009-08-24T19:11:44.742-06:002009-08-24T19:11:44.742-06:00Here is a link to the LDS website that shows the l...Here is a link to the LDS website that shows the locations and phone numbers of all their cannery operations. <br /><br />http://www.providentliving.org/location/map/0,12566,2026-1-4,00.htmlBrandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17309104537097104305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328992626141249699.post-24128718472325946392009-07-02T10:07:02.838-06:002009-07-02T10:07:02.838-06:00I sounds like a dry pack canning operation.

Mormons believe that they are going to be faced with disaster in which they will be unable to have work or an income of any way of obtaining food. So they store food during the plentiful years.<br /><br />Remember Joseph of Egypt? Well think of that again. What would you do if you were without work, without food and without a way to get food.<br /><br />The more people that are prepared for such a time the less the Mormons have to worry about having to share or worse, being ROBBED of their food that they so diligently stored.Nansteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687893760853436890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328992626141249699.post-25745999845301908492009-04-15T10:41:00.000-06:002009-04-15T10:41:00.000-06:00Was this dry canning - like beans and flour - or w...Was this dry canning - like beans and flour - or was it also "wet" stuff like fruit and soup?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328992626141249699.post-27541993698566091572009-03-31T19:58:00.000-06:002009-03-31T19:58:00.000-06:00That's amazing!
