Hi all. As many of you may be aware, the Church of Latter Day Saints (aka the Mormon Church) has a very strong commitment to helping their church members prepare for the unknown future. They even have a great section for preparing your family on their website. Who would have thought the Mormons were preppers! Anyway, the LDS church operates "canneries" around the country that are open to their members that allows their members to buy basic bulk food supplies at cost and then help them package those food supplies for long term storage. I have one of the canneries about 15 minutes from where I live in South Florida, but this specific cannery requires that you either be a member of the church (which I am not) or that you are "referred" to the cannery by a member of the church. So, I am looking for someone who is an active member of the church who would be willing to be my referring member (aka my sponsor) so that I can place an order for pickup of pre-canned goods at the local cannery. If anyone here is a member that is willing to sponsor me, or knows a member of the church and doesn't mind asking them to be my sponsor, I would be incredibly greatful! Please IM me and I'll pass along my information to you and get yours to give to the cannery when I make my appointment.

By the way, you can also buy the same pre-canned supplied directly from their website, its just costs a little more because of the shipping! Still cheaper than you will find anywhere else!

Thanks!

Shawn

Though they may not answer because that's a personal question, we have quite a few.

Back when the forum was new, we made an effort to recruit those of the LDS faith that had similar interest. The reason why you are even asking, we try very hard on this forum to not bring religion or politics into our discussions. This is why we call it a technical forum.

What it does for us though is unlike the survival sites that are almost a cult, we see ourselves as more of a traditional community that has a mix of regions, races, genders, and political affiliations.

We like to think we have more of a sense of belonging since we put no criteria on any of us other than the desire to provide information and get to know people with common interests.

Be sure to come in in full camo, boonie hat, and open carry.

I'm a member, but a little too far away to help. Not all canneries require a "sponsoring member". I've sent many friends to our local cannery, they've never been asked anything besides what they wanted.

Bump to the front page.

I am in Jax, not quite SFL, but if you make it up this way PM me. If I run across any members I know in SFL I'll be sure to get a hold of you. As you can imagine, church member friends I have who relocate usually pick Utah, not SFL
