"Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic
lives if they had their year's supply of food . . . and were debt-free. Today
we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they
have at least a year's supply of debt and are food free."
~President Thomas S. Monson
"The best place to have some food set aside is within our homes. . . . "We can begin ever so modestly.
We can begin with a one week's food supply and gradually build it to a month, and then to three months. . .
. I fear that so many feel that a long-term food supply is so far beyond their reach that they make no effort
at all.”
~President Gordon B. Hinckley
Harmony Bluff Ward has established a Provident Living Plan to help our members begin 'ever so modestly' and work on their food supply. The program has three levels: Level 1: 72-hour Preparedness, Level 2: 3-month Food Storage, Level 3: Long-term Food Storage.
Should you want to participate, you can evaluate the needs of your family and pick which level you want to focus on first.
