Normally they do have some that you can check out, but most have been swamped with requests lately. They will be able to point out available resources for you. If you aren't near the Storage Center wade lists, look up the <a href="http://mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/worship-with-us" rel="nofollow">LDS church closest to you</a> and the local Bishop will help you with anything that might be closer to you.

There is an LDS Home Storage Center in Indianapolis (5151 SW 84th Street). They don't rent canners (to my knowledge) but they do have canners onsite that you can use and they would have lot more information about what your options are locally. I'd give them a call. Another option would be to get together with a group (friends, relatives, a community organization, a local church) and purchase one.

I decided to do 15 bags of flour as well. It added up to 180 more cans. I thought I'd post a note that together with another person, I was able to do all 180 cans in one evening. I also wanted to let everyone know that prices are on the rise, so if you have the means, I'd buy now instead of waiting. Wheat is up over a dollar from a month and a half ago and the ten pound cans are up from forty cents to seventy cents! I finished my wheat this evening. I decided to do 15 bags of flour as well.

We checked out a canning machine from the Lindon cannery and canned skittles, starburst, dum dums, M&Ms, jolly ranchers, lifesavers, chocolate chips, and a few other goodies. I figure that if we're living in a scenario where we're having to use food storage, candy will either be a very welcome treat, or a superior barter item. :) Having acquired most of the basic staples in the past year or so, my wife and I decided to can some goodies a couple months ago.
