Pursuit of Preparedness

A year’s supply of food storage is beneficial in several ways:
1. It provides peace of mind as we obey the counsel to store.
2. It helps ensure survival in case of personal or natural disaster.
3. It strengthens skills in preparing and using basic foods.
“Home Storage: Build on the Basics,” Ensign, Jun 1989, 39
