Bishop's Storehouse

  1. A Church-run facility that provides food and basic goods to those in need, drawn on by bishops to help ward members.

Stocked largely with goods from Church farms and canneries, the storehouse lets bishops give food and supplies (not cash) to members facing hardship, often in exchange for service. It is a cornerstone of the Church's welfare system.
