Boy, can things change in a heartbeat! And the rumor mill can be vicious.
The day before yesterday I posted some information on LDS Home Storage Centers closing. There was insufficient information at the time to get it right…and I sure didn’t get it right. Turns out that it is far worse than anything I saw previously and what I posted.
So, based on information received late yesterday here is what I understand now:
- All LDS Home Storage Centers across the country will be closing.
- Some have already closed.
- There has been no official public statement confirming this yet.
- I have no information if the online store will still be available to purchase items.
- There will be a sale staring in mid-July with some very good prices.
- Once the current stock of food is sold, the individual Home Centers will close permanently.
- I am completely unaware of any actual information as to why the Church is closing the Centers.
If all of this is in-fact true…it is a sad day for those of us who believe in food storage and have limited funds to buy quantities of high-quality food.
I especially feel bad for young families with children who will now have to buy food at full retail pricing. With prices skyrocketing food prices and the economy doing so poorly it makes it even financially tougher for these young families. It’s a shame.
If I get any more reliable information I will pass on what I find out.
If you are so motivated and interested…I would visit your closest Center and talk to them. Find out about the sale starting in mid-July and take advantage of those prices the best you can.
Thank you for this information. I just discovered the LDS online Food Storage, and have only been able to purchase 3 cases so far. I have plans to buy more, but it’s going to take a long time to be able to buy what my family needs. There’s definitely something in the air — like when Noah was getting the Ark ready.
Glad you found them. they are a wonderful resource. i hope they don’t close.

I just finished visiting the storage center in Linden, Utah, and was told that as of this morning they are not closing the storage centers. I asked what happened and no one knew. Just that word came down through the supervisors that they decided not to close the centers.

And the saga continues.
Thank you for that update.
Please let us know if you hear anything else.
