This Month’s LDS Monthly Plan to Acquire Food Storage and 72-Hour Kit
in One Year
(with Monthly Goals)
===========================================================================
"There is no person who knows the real purpose for which this welfare
program is being instituted but hardly before sufficient preparation has
been made the real purpose will be revealed and when that time comes it
will challenge every resource of the church to meet it." Harold B.
Lee
Spiritual Goal---Have family scripture study together every day.
Provident Living Goal---Review your will if you have one. Make any needed changes. If you do not have a will, make arrangements to get one. EVERY Adult should have a will. Plan and carry out a FHE on the importance of preparedness.
Storage Goal:
10--#10 cans (35 pounds total) powdered milk per person
25 pounds canned or dried potatoes per person
50 quarts fruit or tomato juice per person
72 hour kit:
1 pound dried fruit or trail mix per person (can use fruit leather)
1 package soda crackers per person (4 per box)
1 package graham crackers per person (4 per box)
2 liters tomato or orange juice per person (Note: these items will
be rotated every 6 months-see March)
