I knew nothing about the Greensboro cannery, so I went there a few weeks ago to see what it was all about.
The real name is the Family Home Storage Center. It is in the same building as the Bishop’s Storehouse, but they are two separate entities. Here is the difference:
The Family Home Storage Center is where members (and non-members) can go to obtain food storage items for their families. The food costs money.
The Bishop’s Storehouse provides food at no cost to church welfare recipients, paid for by our fast offerings.
The Family Home Storage Center is located at 129 Landmark Road, Greensboro, NC. It took me exactly 1 1/2 hours to get there, on a Tuesday morning, from Morrisville.
Get on I-40, go west about an hour and a half, and exit on exit 208-Sandy Ridge Road. At the end of the exit ramp, make a right onto Sandy Ridge Road, then another right onto Triad Street. (You made those 2 right turns around a Hess gas station, going around all three sides of the gas station). Follow Triad Street for about 9/10 of a mile, turn left onto Landmark Road. Go in the second and third driveways on the right.
You need an appointment. And it is good to know what you want to buy as you make the appointment, so they can check to see if they have enough. If you are buying a lot of food, they may not have enough, and they might tell you to wait until after the next shipment of food arrives.
I am arranging some cannery trips for our ward. If you want to send a check and an order, the people going there can pick it up for you. Or you can come with us and help us can it. The tentative dates are Thursday Nov. 18, 9 am, Saturday Nov. 20 at 9 am. Or Tues. Nov. 23 at 9 am. Please call or email me (Amy) if you want to go or if you want to send an order. This offer is for Morrisville or Green Level ward only. You must get my email or phone off the ward list.
If you want to make an appointment for yourself at some other time, call the cannery at 336-287-1767.
