home storage centers

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has home storage centers all over the United States, Canada, and Central America. They also have locations in the Caribbean, Africa, Tonga and Samoa. Click here to find a location near you. There you can donate time by packing food for the welfare program or you can arrange to pack food for yourself.

The home storage centers offer some of the cheapest prices on bulk foods. The cost to can these bulk supplies into #10 cans is nominal. Our favorite food storage product to get at the home storage centers is the apple slices. Our family loves them straight out of the can. You can also rehydrate them to make applesauce or an apple pie -- and they cost less than $6 a can. And though the "wet-pack" products are not generally available, they might offer you a chance to buy "extra" product if you donate your time to help with the production lines or clean up.

Here is the link to the home storage center order forms. They also have an order form available in Spanish. The storage life of the different food products is included on the order form.

Each Home Storage Center uses different guidelines. But this site at Family Food Storage gives unofficial information about the Lindon and Salt Lake City Home Storage Centers in Utah.
