Day 2: Food Storage Christmas (shelves)

Once you are ready to make the Food Storage Plunge, it really feels great to know you have a well organized PLACE to put all that food. We recommend starting with 1 to 2 shelves and then moving on from there. You don’t need an entire room custom built to get going! Check out these ideas:

A More Expensive Option

Large Shelves

Try a nice heavy duty shelf or 2 to really help someone get started. You can find these at hardware stores, walmart, or even online. You can choose which shelf would work best by thinking about how much space the person may or may not have.

Food Rotation System

If you are giving to someone REALLY special, you could make their Christmas by getting them a fancy Thrive Life Food Rotation System. These are incredible for rotation, come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes to fit any space and budget, and can fit either a variety of can sizes or all #10 cans.
