New Operation of Lindon Home Storage Center

The Lindon Home Storage Center is pleased to announce a change in operation that supports the counsel of the First Presidency and the basic guidelines for family home storage.

Please review the pamplet "All Is Safely Gathered In."

The changes will simplify the Home Storage Center's ability to serve the individual and family with a walk-in, open schedule program. There will not be a pre-set or assigned Stake or Ward schedule.

Food Storage Minimums

400 lbs of grains, not just wheat, 17.5 oz/day
60 lbs of beans, 2.6 oz/day
10 quarts cooking oil, shortening, butter, .87 oz/day
60 lbs sugar/honey, 2.63 oz/day
8 lbs salt, not only for eating-curing, .35 oz/day
16 lbs powdered milk, .70 oz/day
14 gallons drinking water - FOR 1ST 2 WEEKS

Two 5 gallon buckets will hold 75 lbs wheat, rice or other grain. This means that you will need 11 buckets of grain for each person in your family.

If you store all your grains in #10 cans - wheat, rice, corn, etc - you will need 64 cans or 10.5 cases per person. Serving about 2 cups un-ground grain per day.

Rolled oats are lighter but bulkier, so they require more storage space. You would need 124 cans or 21 cases per person.

Pasta - you will need 32 cans or 5.25 cases per person.

Beans - a 25 lb bag will fit in a single 5 gallon bucket with some space left over. So 2 buckets will hold a one person supply, or twelve #10 cans or about 2 cases. Serving 3/4 cup per day.

This is not much food folks. Get the basics and then immediately begin adding more kinds of grain, soup mix, canned and/or dehydrated vegetables and fruits. Add a variety more than the minimal survival diet. For example: the minimum recommended amount of grain, when ground and prepared will yield about 6 small biscuits or a plateful of pancakes. It's enough to keep you alive, but a far cry from being satisfying and not being hungry.

The one month kit costs $18.69. All they need is 12 of these per person to survive. They fit nicely under beds or stacked in a closet. Less than $1.00/day!!!

PLACES TO PURCHASE

Wheat - I would buy this by the bag at the cannery ASAP! I would order 6 gallon buckets from Walton's or where ever you have a better source. You can even order these buckets later. Getting the food is probably the most important right now.

Flour - I would also buy this at the cannery. It is currently $7 for a 25 lb bag.

Pasta - I would buy macaroni and spaghetti at the cannery by the can. Buy egg noodles from Walton's.

Sugar - I would buy by the bag at the Macey's Case Lot Sale in March. It should be about $9.

Beans - I would buy by the can at the cannery.

Lentils - I would buy at Walton's.

Oats - I would buy at the cannery. If you like other grains, get them at Walton's. Like Cream iof Wheat (Germade) is really cheap by the can at Walton's. Check Macey's this month.

Rice - I would buy at the cannery or Sam's club.

TIPS
Vanilla extract will improve the flavor of powdered milk. Learn how to make and use wheat gluten (smoke flavor, chicken or beef bouillon adds good flavor). Chocolate syrup and powdered drink mixes help with appetite fatigue. Vitamins and protein powders will boost the nutrition levels of foods that may have suffered losses during processing and longer storage. Try Costco and Sam's Club for the best prices. The cannery has Cocoa Mix for the best price around.

21 boxes of macaroni and cheese

1000 multi-vitamins
6 pounds of yeast
6 pounds of shortening
12 pounds of macaroni

Some weeks you will have leftover change. Save the change each week in a kitty to be used for the weeks you may exceed $5.00 (for example, as when purchasing wheat or milk). This should be enough to sustain 2 people for 1 year. For every 2 people in your family, add $5 more and double or triple the amount of the item you are buying for that week.

Lindon Cannery Changes

There is an important change to the Family Canning procedure. Due to new product clearance regulations, no product can be sold the same day it is produced. Those who schedule the first day of any product must pick up their order after the last day the item is produced. This means if a product is produced on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, those who are registered on the first day cannot pick up their items until the following Friday or Monday. Pick-up dates for each product will be given at the orientation for your shift. We encourage those who live close to the Cannery to schedule on the first days to help those living further from the Cannery. You may pick up your product at subsequent shifts, but all products must be picked up before the day of the overage sale. We can not have anyone picking up on the same day as the overage sale.Just a few reminders for successfully completing your Family Canning Registration:

1) We now have 5,500 people on our distribution list. Understandably, we cannot respond to emails sent to the distribution email address. You can not schedule family canning through email. Please mail the completed paper copy of the registration along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) must be mailed to the Lindon Cannery, 940 W Center, Lindon, UT 84042. We will return your confirmation in your SASE.

2) You must pull the attachment in through the Adobe Reader to print off a readable copy of the registration form. We cannot process registrations that are not in the proper format. If you do not have the Adobe Reader downloaded, please go to the following website. It is a free download: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. This program works like any other word processor. It is easiest to save the attachment to your desktop and then open and print the registration through the Adobe Reader program.

3) You are only allowed to schedule one shift per person until the Monday just before we begin production on an item. On the prior Monday, if there are open shifts or cancellations, we will take phone registrations ONLY for the product being produced that week.

4) Please remember to indicate the number of cases you want to order of each product you are scheduling. If an amount is not listed, you will be assigned 2 cases. This number cannot be increased. (You are always able to lower your order amounts when you check in for your shift.) You may, however, schedule a 2nd shift, if there are any available, beginning the Monday of the same week we begin processing the item.

5) Please only “X” through dates and times that you absolutely cannot come. We will not schedule anything that has an “X” through it. The 9:00 and 10:00 shifts are the most requested and fill up the fastest. We will schedule your circled dates and times first. FYI: The Church Canneries are still not able to offer canned meats for family canning. We do not know when or if this will change. We have no further information on the status of this concern but will let you know as soon as anything changes! We are all hoping this will be resolved soon.

At this time, this Spring Family Canning schedule may be the only one offered at the Lindon Cannery in 2009 due to scheduled repairs on the building in October, November & December. If the maintenance is rescheduled, we will contact you through this distribution email.
