52 Weeks to Family Preparedness for Two

Week 32

The counsel to have a year's supply of basic food, clothing, and commodities was given fifty years ago and has been repeated many times since. Every father and mother are the family's store keepers. They should store whatever their own family would like to have in the case of an emergency.....store a year's supply.....that might keep us from starving in case of emergency. James E. Faust April 1986
