Ordering Process for Ordering Food from Cannery
Cannery order forms are located in the binders each Sunday. You can also go to http://www.providentliving.org/, to the left of the page, click on “Family Home Storage”. Then on the next page look to the right and click on “Home Storage Center order form.” There is also a link to the side of the food storage blog at http://letusbeprepared.blogspot.com/. You can either print the form and fill it out manually, or fill it out online and print it out from there.
After filling out your order form, you will choose from the 2 packing options below and follow instructions from there.
Option 1:
Canning items on Stake Canning night-
We have times scheduled for our stake members to go to the cannery to can, or pouch food. The times we have set for the remaining of the year are as follows:

PLEASE let Alisha Ashton, alisha.ashton@gmail.com (the current food storage specialist) know which night you plan to attend the cannery and what you are planning on packing. She sends all orders to me (Crystal Petersen) a week prior to the canning night so we can make all necessary arrangements and to make sure they have the items of food you are wanting to pack.
You will bring your order form filled out under the can column or the pouch column. Please note you are paying for the food, and the packaging so there is no need to order packing materials.
You will need to be prepared to come on time, work with all others that night to fill everyone’s orders, and then clean up. You’ll never be unassisted, so you don’t need to know anything about the cannery to come and pack food…there is always someone there to help. After everyone is done, you’ll pay for your food just packed.
PLEASE remember a check (blank)!! They do not accept credit cards and if you have to pay with cash, it has to be the EXACT amount, no exceptions.
Option 2:
Buying bulk from the Cannery –
Call the cannery 281-537-1785 to make sure they have what you’d like to pick up and to make sure someone will be there to assist you in checking out.
Drive to the cannery, taking your order form filled out under the bulk column on the order form. Don’t forget to order all the packing materials such as cans, pouches, oxygen absorbers (which go in everything but sugar), and lids, etc. Just like stake canning nights, don’t forget to bring a blank check or exact cash to pay for your food. No credit cards will be accepted.
Then you are responsible for packing it on your own. We do have a sealer in our ward, but we are not able to pass it around, so if you are interested in packing your bulk food in pouches, you can contact Alisha Ashton to discuss bulk-packing options.
Whether you decide to go to the cannery for stake canning night or if you go there to pick up your bulk good, you’ll need the address for the cannery.
