We're currently serving as the bugout destination for some friends, so we've made some space for them to store some food and even a few sets of clothing, set of dishes (probably packed in with the clothing), etc. Since most of them are working on finding homes nearer to us, it also serves to free up a little space where they live now (especially important for the family who are working on fixing up their house to sell). It isn't a lot of space, just 8' wide by 3' deep, but we stuck a strong table into the space so it's easier to stack things both underneath and higher up. I'll also be working on getting rid of more of our stuff (we packed in haste toward the end of moving last fall), and hopefully we'll be able to take in some larger items then, to help facilitate their moves. I think it helps them to feel more secure, and helps me too -- knowing some of my friends have definite plans in case of emergency is a good thing. Some good posts today Sharon, thanks!

It isn’t a lot of space, just 8′ wide by 3′ deep, but we stuck a strong table into the space so it’s easier to stack things both underneath and higher up.

If you haven't gotten an "ok" ahead of time, don't expect your pets to be welcomed.

I'd been pondering something like that, and we have some plastic buckets coming soon, so I shall pack up one bucket just to store at in in-laws' place. We're even goign there for a visit soon, and FiL is already into prepping. What a great idea!
