So Roger and I volunteered at the Bishop's Storehouse last week while I was on vacation. My friend Natalie's Parents are in charge there and we thought we'd step up to the plate for once. It was a fun time. I was amazed at the amount of boxes that are stored there. Apparently, this storehouse supplies other areas in Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, the Carolinas and is a hub for Emergency Response here in the Southeast. Supplies are shipped to disaster areas such as New Orleans during Katrina, and currently to Iowa and areas downstream on the Mississippi because of the floods.










The cannery is also located here. There are so many things that can be canned here for personal food storage. The only stipulation is that you must can it yourself. (which is not difficult, I have done it myself) Everything is very organized and easy to find. There is alot of good work being done there.




The warehouse itself is huge. Brother Kennedy (Natalie's Dad) took us on a tour and said that usually there was alot more there, but that alot had bee recently sent out to the areas along the Mississippi for relief. Things like generators, hygiene kits, water and food. He said that the warehouse is usually stocked from floor to ceiling, and that it would be again in a couple of weeks.


I learned alot and enjoyed being there to help. Natalie's sister, Monica, and her husband, Larry volunteer there twice a week. Because of the work they have been doing and volunteering for, Larry was recently baptized into the Church. He had a strong feeling that the work that is being done there was a good work and felt he wanted to be a part of it. He is a great person and is growing in faith as he continues to work there.

That is all I have to say for now... until next time.....ta ta!

Happy 4th !
