The LDS Church operates 122 bishops' storehouses across six countries, supplied by 32 Church-owned farms, ranches, orchards, and processing facilities. In 2021, those operations produced over 100 million pounds of food.
In 2024, 32 million pounds of food from bishops' storehouses were donated to external humanitarian organizations and food banks — not just to LDS members. The system is a vertically integrated food production and distribution network funded by member fast offerings. (Church-reported figures.)
