Food Storage Group

Take a look at Laura Legner's work for the day!

We had great success as the sisters spent 4 days canning their food storage items. Each sister purchased her own items; flour, sugar, wheat, rice, beans, macaroni, etc. and then took them to Cynthia Israelsen's to put in cans and seal them with the canner.

It was surprisingly easy to do. Just pour into the can, pop in an oxygen packet, put on the machine and seal. Of course, what made it easy was that Cynthia did all the work getting it set up for us. She also gave up a lot of time to help and instruct each of us. We really couldn't ask for a better person to head this committee. It was so successful, we will be doing it again!

The results? 800 cans of food= 4 TONS of food!! Wow!
