Get Thee to the Cannery!

Food prices are on the rise, as you can see from the new price sheet at the cannery or listen to the news.  Now might be the time to go to the cannery.  You do not need to go with a group.  Contact the cannery managers at
wel-hsc-sandiego@ldschurch.org .  If you let Sister Humiston know what day of the week and time of the day (morning 10-2 are the normal cannery hours Tuesday, Wed. & Thursday….if you want afternoon or evening or another day, Sister Spiegler in the Cardiff Ward will have to go with you…so you also have to check with her).  The machines are easy to use and quick.  You can borrow a canning machine, but they are not as quick and require a little muscle.  You will also have to make 2 trips…one down to pick up the stuff, and one back to bring the canner back.

When you go to the cannery, sometimes there are items already canned, which can save you a bit of time. Just make sure you pay it forward, and can a little extra for someone else next time.

If you are interested in doing a cannery group or a sign-up (where you can just sign up for the items you need, and only 1 or 2 people need to go get them), please comment or email me. I would love to do this, but I don't need to do it if I'm the only one. If more people are interested (or would be willing to be one of the pick-up people) let me know!
