Celebrating our 5th birthday here at Shelf Reliance has been a blast so far, and all the festivities have gotten us to thinking about how the whole operation got started. What started as a small idea between college friends has evolved into a well-respected, growing company.

Jason and Lindsay Budge became acquainted with Steve and Amy Palmer while attending college. Though they didn’t know about the great friendship and partnership they would eventually form, both couples saw a great need and responsibility to prepare their families for the future.

Lindsay & Jason Budge

Amy & Steve Palmer

The Budges and Palmers have always believed that the keys to happiness are the pursuit of self-reliance and the proper balance of life’s priorities, including a sound education, healthy diet, physical fitness, financial independence, devotion to family, and faith in God. However, there was a key component missing in their goal to be self-reliant: an adequate supply of food and provisions to prepare their families for unforeseen hardships or emergencies. They didn’t know where to start, what to store, or how to rotate and use a long-term food supply.

In the summer of 2004, Jason and Steve felt a strong desire to find a solution to this problem. At a time when they were facing difficult decisions and personal challenges (including Jason’s wife, Lindsay, being hospitalized for three months to save her unborn twin daughters), Steve and Jason moved forward with a desire to help people become more self-reliant. They turned down extraordinary financial opportunities, took a leap of faith, and started Shelf Reliance.

Shelf Reliance has developed proprietary food rotation products which make food organization and rotation more manageable. We’ve also developed our own line of food, THRIVE. While the extensive shelf life of this line makes it an excellent solution for long-term food storage, the convenience and great taste of this easy-to-use product makes it the perfect complement to everyday meal preparation and proper daily nutrition. Shelf Reliance is passionate about having the best food products on the market and making them an essential part of everyday living!

Jason Budge and Steve Palmer

Through innovation, hard work, balance, the dedication of its employees and representatives, and an unceasing determination to help people around the world become prepared, Shelf Reliance has become the most trusted name in the industry.

Has the cold weather got you down? Are you feeling the slump that comes with shorter days and longer to-do lists? It’s sure a tough time of year, and with more than a month to go before Christmas, we don’t even have the comfort of nicely-wrapped presents waiting for us! If only there were some other excuse for receiving presents …

It’s birthday time here at Shelf Reliance, and to celebrate the last five years, we’ll be giving away some truly spectacular prizes in sets of five! The King of All Giveaways is our way of saying thanks to loyal customers and faithful readers with over $5,000 in prizes – $5,639.75, to be exact. Let’s start by introducing the prizes, followed by the giveaway rules and entry methods. (more…)

This week marks five years since Shelf Reliance was founded. In that time, our company has expanded from the simple idea behind our Food Rotation Systems to include emergency kits and supplies, as well as the THRIVE line of food storage. Our website offers great tools, like the THRIVE Q for pay-as-you-go food storage and various planners to help you assess your individual needs. Many things have contributed to Shelf Reliance’s success over the last five years, but nothing has made more of a difference than the support of our customers. Thank you for making Shelf Reliance what it is today!

To celebrate our success and thank you for your support, we’ll be giving thousands of dollars in presents and freebies. It may be our birthday, but the party’s all about you. There are three special promotions to be aware of. Keep reading to learn about the discounts and prizes that are available to Shelf Reliance customers! (more…)
