  1. Bill Mortimer here... Kelly and I are moving to Utah within the next few weeks. We have some food storage, but are afraid much of it has expired. I am hoping someone might be able to help me review our food storage, get rid of expired items, and take anything that is still good. (I have some cans of wheat, and I know they changed the life expectancy of wheat... Can someone help us figure out if it is still good?)

    Please call me at 559-403-8006 or 559-298-9652 if you know of someone who is able to help out?
