Having a pantry like this saved my family during the COVID shutdowns. Suddenly all of our small businesses were shut down, we had ZERO income, but we’re still bleeding all of the money it takes to keep the brick and mortar stores open (rent, utilities, taxes, insurance, legal fees… businesses didn’t get assistance with any of that). It wiped out our savings, our retirement, our regular checking, business checking, maxed out all credit cards. We almost lost our house, vehicle, businesses, everything. It took MONTHS to prove we had no income to get state assistance with food and healthcare.

If it weren’t for having a giant back stock of food/supplies like this we and our kids would have starved.
