Speaking of the Storehouse, I thought you might like to know a little more about it. Most of the people who work there are either missionaries or volunteers. I think there are three paid employees, a manager, his assistant and a secretary. The rest of us serve willingly without monetary compensation (we don't get paid.) The picture above is of Marv & Marilyn on the last day of their mission. They have served in various storehouses around the country during their lives.
Here a volunteer stocks shelves. The volunteers come from a variety of circumstances. Some come on assignment from their stakes; some come as court mandated community service; Some come on assignment from their bishops to give service for the food & clothing they will receive; some come just because they like the atmosphere and enjoy being productive and serving.
Our particular storehouse is one of the largest in the Church. We serve the needs of people in 47 stakes from Wendover on the west to Taylorsville on the east.
Our goal is to help people maintain life and make it through the rough times. We don't stock everything, but we have a lot.
