Why Store Food, Why Prepare?
Have you ever found yourself telling your children "Because I said so." Food storage is not like that, it is a principle with a promise. For over a century Latter-day Saints have been counseled by living Prophets to prepare and to store a year's supply of food, to gain those basic skills needed to prepare healthy food for their families, and to get out of debt and stay out of debt. Self reliance is not just in case of a world-wide pandemic or food shortage, it is that same principle with a promise that when the time comes we will have the food we need for our families and will be blessed for being prepared and obedient. The First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has counseled us to:
Our Heavenly Father created this beautiful earth, with all its abundance, for our benefit and use. His purpose is to provide for our needs as we walk in faith and obedience. He has lovingly commanded us to “prepare every needful thing” (see D&C 109:8) so that, should adversity come, we can care for ourselves and our neighbors and support bishops as they care for others.
"We encourage members world-wide 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, All
