Long-Term Food Storage for December

Here is our suggested list for items to be collected this month to add to your long-term food storage. Remember, these items are suggested per person.

toothbrush

toilet paper and individually packaged handiwipes

batteries and flashlight

waterproof matches and candles

Due to the nature of our Stake's goals for 2011, we will be canceling further Project Noah updates. A full list of suggested long-term food storage items will be available on this blog in the near future. (I'm trying to make a printable version of the entire year.) Keep in mind that even the smallest effort will bring us blessings. You have to build your long-term storage one item at a time and our Father in Heaven is mindful of our efforts and sacrifices.

Increasing Prices

I have recently heard that prices will be increasing at the Cannery for the 2011 year. Some items will go up by as much as 50%!

I encourage you to get out to the Cannery before the year is up. Items already canned can be purchased right off the shelf. Of course bulk items are available too, but I would encourage you to only purchase items this way if you use them in frequent rotation.

I know there are so many things to do this time of year. I can not adequately express to you the sense of urgency I feel on the matter of food storage. Make it a priority and you will be blessed!

Long-Term Food Storage for November

A new month means a new list of things to gather for our long-term storage! Here is our suggested list:

shampoo, conditioner and hair products

sanitary napkins and diapers

napkins, paper cups and plastic silverware

paper plates and trash bags

Long-Term Food Storage for October

Here is a list of our long-term items to be added to your storage for October:

laundry soap

2 bars of body soap

bleach and stain remover

toothpaste and mouthwash

Remember that hygiene items should be added to your long-term storage after food items have been secured.
