(28,581 posts)They go into paint size cans. Non- Mormons can also go and purchase the dry goods and use the canning equipment. They will walk you through it and there are labels that show how many years each item lasts. We did it in Central Mass to supplement our own root cellar and they were terrific, no preaching at all and it was cheap. We did beans, grain, sugar, pasta and a few other things. 4 of us spent a couple hours.
The big thing I noticed was that it was also a food pantry for mormons. A family drove down from northern new england and they gave the family like 2 shopping carts full of food, including fresh vegetables and fruit, meat and dairy.
I have alot of issues with the Mormon religion and culture, but one thing they do do well is taking care of those within their community.
