Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) are advised to store food and emergency supplies. This is for a few reasons.

One is that Mormons have a strong emphasis on self-reliance - they believe that they should do all they can to take care of themselves and their families rather than rely on outside influences. (government, aid organizations, etc.) This applies to disaster and emergency situations as well as unemployment and financial hardship, so having a supply of the necessities stocked up is essential to staying independent and taking care of yourself.

Another reason is similar to what you said. Mormons don't store food for the Second Coming - that will be a time of peace when Jesus Christ reigns over the earth. Mormons save food because scripture foretells major disasters and calamities prior tothe Second Coming of Christ. Mormons believe that they should prepared spiritually and temporally to sustain themselves through these calamities so that they can serve as witnesses of Christ to warn the people of His return rather than be struggling to survive.
