Default LDS Ladies

Are LDS Canneries open to the public or just members of the church?

It's my understanding that they're not, but let me ask around. Someone in my ward is bound to know more than I know!

Yeah...I've heard mixed answers...no, yes, or yes with a member. I rarely go myself, but one of my friends is diehard and would probably know. Lemme see what she says.

I'm seeing the 'with a member' thing now too. I called a friend who uses it, but she wasn't in.

Krysta - that'd be awesome since (if she's local) it would be where I'd probably go if it worked..

Is it the one in Carrollton? That's the one we would go to... but, I haven't been since we've been here. I'll ask my mom, she might know.

this website says "for members of the church...."
http://www.providentliving.org/locat...26-1-4,00.html

I'm not sure if that rules out going with someone though.

Traci, here is a good explanation that I found:

The cannery facilities are designed specifically to bottle products like spaghetti sauce, salsa, applesauce, jams, and other foods that are too acidic to be put in metal cans. The products are then sent to one of over a hundred Bishop's Storehouses all over the world for distribution to families in need. Members near Church cannery facilities are asked to volunteer and help in the production of the food. The Church also encourages individuals to use the canneries to begin or add to their own food storage. Church leaders encourage that each family have its own reserve of food in case of personal emergency, such as the loss of a job, or for natural disasters.

Wow that's fascinating. I'm curious as to what the final answer will be.

We are advised to have a year supply of food (and other items) for emergencies (not just natural disasters, but even job loss, hard times, etc.). There are canneries that we use to can dry goods like rice, wheat, flour, pasta, sugar, oats, dried milk, etc... and we usually can the stuff ourselves at our local cannery (and the prices are really low too). I actually regularly use the flour, sugar, rice, and oats... instead of buying those from the grocery store. ETA: Sorry, repeating some of what Jenny posted. lol

And I don't have an answer for you Darcy, but I would love to know the answer too! I imagine if you could that you would have to go with a member.

Hey Darcy...my friend says that you can go with a member. The member has to call and set up an appointment and that Wednesdays are the best day due to it being a "free day" not requiring a certain number in the group.

She said that before the year 2000, anyone could just call and make the appointment (member or not) so that might be why we get conflicting info.

I have to laugh 'cause I think she took my question as some form of enthusiasm for the project. LOL I am NOT the cannery type. I am the "buy it from someobdy else doing the work" type.
