Looking for.....

We would like to put together a list of people in the ward that have the following equipment that they would be willing to share with others:

Pressure cookers
Vac. Sealers for jars or bags
Wheat grinders or any grinders

We are also putting together a list of sisters/brothers would like to get together and can their own stuff using the cannery’s dry pack machine. (It can be check out)

You would just have to buy your own cans and oxygen absorbers.

Leave a comment below if you have any of the items available to share or would like to use the dry pack machine to can your own items.

New Prices at the Dry Pack

A new price list was posted for the Family Home Storage Centers. (Dry Pack)

There is a significant drop in price for most products.

To give you an example: powdered milk used to be $7.60 per can, now it is $5.30. Apple slices was $6.95 per can, new price is $4.90. Most products have dropped in price from $50-$1.00 per can.

This is a good time to dry-pack bulk food and work on long term food storage. These new prices will be good until December

Walk-in hours at the Portland Home Storage Center (PHSC) are every Tuesdays & Thursdays from 9-3 p.m.


Wards, stakes, and private groups can call during hours of operation to schedule a dry-pack session. These scheduled sessions run only on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6-9 p.m., and Saturday mornings from 9-12 p.m. (noon). You must arrive promptly the day of your scheduled dry-packing session. Group size must be a minimum of 8 people and no more than 35, one of which must be a priesthood holder. You must let the PHSC know how many people will be coming on the scheduled date.
