For more than 60 years, members of the Church have been commanded to store a year supply of food. Recently President Hinckley pleaded with members to prepare themselves.[1] Judging by the requests I'm receiving for food storage information, members are taking his counsel very seriously.

While I can't offer much in regards to helping you get your laundry done, I can share a few tips and suggestions on obtaining a year supply of food for your family.
