Home Storage Center Now Open

The Austin Home Storage Center is now open. The hours of operation are Tuesday from 2-8 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. The address is:
3912 Gattis School Road, Round Rock, Texas 78664
Office Phone: 512-252-2177
Office FAX: 512-252-8311

Linda and Dave Ellefson are the service missionaries in charge of the Home Storage Center.

Patrons who are interested in purchasing materials from the Center are encouraged to download a copy from the web site, www.providentliving.org, and plan their order before visiting the Center. These forms will also be available at the Center.

At this time, it will not be possible to dry-pack products on-site at the Center. However, both a can sealer and a pouch sealer are available for loan. These will be loaned out for no more than a week at a time. Since these two pieces of equipment are key items, the Center management wants to insure that the sealers are available as much as possible and would encourage their return to the Home Storage Center on the next day the Center is open once the sealing project has been completed by the Patron.

Patrons are expected to fill their own orders and load their own vehicles. Bulk supplies can weigh as much as 40 pounds per container. The pouch sealer with case weighs 60 pounds, and the can sealer weighs 40 pounds. Patrons who are buying bulk items should either be able to lift these weights or have others with them who can when visiting the Center.

The Center cannot accept debit or credit cards. Materials and products need to be paid for by cash or check at the time they are picked up at the Center. The ability to make change at the cash register will be limited, so patrons should come with exact change if at possible. This is another reason Patrons should be well familiar with the current product and price list prior to visiting the Center.

Contact our home preparedness specialists Jeri Ashford and Marie Tidwell with any questions you may have.
