Super cheap food from the Mormons

[Justin]

I wonder if it's more of a supply chain issue.

There are posts in this thread about how Provident Living isn't really a money maker for the Mormon church, but they do it anyway. In a situation like this, you'd think they'd be all hands on deck to meet the increased demand and pad their bottom line. But if they're closed until September because of COVID, that suggests to me that they may very well have a supply chain issue, which isn't particularly encouraging.

To be fair, the concept they follow is to prepare when times are good, not necessarily be a supply point during the bad ones.

Exactly.

They're not closed due to cv-19. They're closed due to resupplying the store fronts.

The provident Living (Home Storage Centers) or cannery as some of still refer to them as, is what's closed. The bishops Storehouse, which supplies those in need (ebt, wic and some special programs) are still open. Only you need the right paperwork to gain access.


IMO The mormons who have been BE PREPARED for ever, not just for a disaster. Looked at the numbers of panic driven hoarding. Took a vote and decided Their church and it's members come first..



With (Im sure) knowledge of supplies across the board and potential shortages of who knows what. They , like everyone, else put their people first. Wouldn't you?
