Cooking With Your 3-Month Supply Handout

Cooking With Your 3-Month Supply

“The best storehouse is the family storeroom. It’s the most accessible reserve in times of need and the best suited to our individual needs.” - Gordon B. Hinckley, Oct 2005, General Conference

“Build a small supply of food that is part of your normal, daily diet. One way to do this is to purchase a few extra items each week to build a one-week supply of food. Then you can gradually increase your supply until it is sufficient for three months. These items should be rotated regularly to avoid spoilage.” - First Presidency, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, All Safely Gathered In
