Bishop's storehouse
A bishop's storehouse in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) usually refers to a commodity resource center that is used by bishops (lay leaders of local congregations analogous to pastors or parish priests in other Christian denominations) of the church to provide goods to needy individuals. The storehouses stock basic foods and essential household items. The term can also be used figuratively to refer to all of the time, talents, skills, materials, compassion, and financial means of the members of the church that are available to be applied in the service of the needy.〔LDS Church (2004). (''Providing in the Lord's Way: A Leader's Guide to Welfare'' ) p. 8.〕
there are 138 bishop's storehouses in operation.
==Origin==
The concept of the bishop's storehouse is based on a revelation received by Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, on February 9, 1831, whereby he was instructed to keep goods "in my (Lord's ) storehouse, to administer to the poor and the needy".〔Doctrine and Covenants (42:33–34, 55. )〕 The first bishop's storehouse was established in Bishop Newel K. Whitney's store in Kirtland, Ohio.
