Check your phone book for the local “LDS Bishops Storehouse”. If there is not one listed call your local LDS congregation and ask for the information about the Local “Bisops Storehouse”, they should be glad to give the information to you. Each storehouse stocks bulk storage items for sale to both members and non members alike. The prices are usually very reasonable. Further they have information available about what to store and how to go about it. There is no requirement to be a Mormon to use their services nor is there any additional fees. Also there should be no fear of them trying to proselytize you for using the services as they are discouraged from doing that in those circumstances.
Thank, you, Ghostcat, for that information. I admire the LDS attitude about preparedness, but probably would not have considered contacting them without your assurance that they are open to sharing with non-LDS, and would not see that as an opportunity to attempt to convert me (which just isn’t possible - I’m Irish).
I have heard about canning centers operated by LDS, but don’t know if there are any in my area. If I contact the “Bishops Storehouse,” they will probably know.
Again, thanks!
