For baking, you will need 1/2 lb of dry yeast per person/year; 1 lb of baking soda per person/year; and 1 lb of baking powder per person/year.

As each family uses varying amounts of different items, you can vary the amounts as needed. Also, adding canned goods (fruits, vegetables, meats, etc) can affect the requirements in some of the dry goods' areas.

Are Anti-Mormons driving you crazy with their false claims? Find the facts and the truth at the Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research: http://www.fair-lds.org
Their research covers hundreds of areas, and will show you the evidence for the claims of the LDS Church. It is a non-profit organization, where dozens of people volunteer hundreds of hours researching and writing articles to expand the work of the Lord.
