The next opportunity to go to the Sandy Home Storage Dry Pack Cannery is:
Thursday, July 8, 2010 - 5:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
This is a great time to gather the family and can food for family home storage. Let us encourage and enthuse our ward members to become prepared for any situation that would find us in need of self reliance. Friends and extended family are welcome to come as well.
For those of you new to food storage, here are some FAQ for you about the Cannery:
1. Can I bring my children? If the children are older than 8 years old, they can help you can. Younger children are not allowed in for safety reasons.
2. Do I have to go during the stake's appointed time? No, you are welcome to stop by anytime during the operational hours - BUT - the stake with the assigned time gets first presidence. To go during our assigned time assures you a spot inside the cannery instead of waiting to see if there is any room.
3. Can I purchase bulk goods? You can purchase bulk goods at the cannery, but it will not have as good of a shelf life if it is not properly stored. You can purchase the cans and oxygen packs and then check out the canner if you would like to can your items at home. This is a good option for those with young children that have a hard time finding sitters. To be honest, though, it is much easier to operate the canners at the cannery and the cans done at the cannery tend to stack better.
If you are interested in checking out a canner and setting it up at the church or someone's home to have multiple people use, let me know and I can arrange that.
