There are more and more reasons in our world today to be ready for calamatous times. The hazards range from short-term natural disasters to major social-political changes that could make it impossible for some to buy or sell. Many are choosing to prepare for the eventuality that they may have to live through a crisis. While our main focus is providing nutrition during such a crisis, we are also providing other resources for those who are wondering just how to prepare.

Preparing To Help

Much of the information on the internet is focused on how to take care of yourself and your family during a crisis. The approach is very often on how to isolate yourself or your small group and survive at all costs, even at the expense of others. At LifeGrains, we take a different approach. We believe that if we are prepared to deal with the crisis, we will be in a better position to bless others when the crisis comes.

In any major crisis, you will inevitably be part of the problem or part of the solution. If you are scrounging for food, competing with everyone else, you are part of the problem. You are increasing the scarcity and raising the tension. If you are even somewhat prepared, you can be part of the solution because you are in a position to help others and be part of the rebuilding process.

Domestically, we saw glimpes of this during Hurricane Katrina. Those who had not prepared were desperate and reliant on charities and the authorities. Those who were ready were able to begin rebuilding much sooner. With a little provision and planning, you can be part of the solution and not part of the problem in the unfortunate event that crisis comes.

We would like to provide you with some thoughts and resources so you can plan to be a blessing during crisis. Check our links on the left. Then you can know that you aren't just preparing to survive, you are preparing to help!
