Worcester Food Bank A very big ‘thank you’ to everyone for your
continued support and contributions, both goods and monetary gifts,
to Worcester Foodbank. The team at the Foodbank greatly appreciate
every contribution. Worcester News recently interviewed Grahame Lucas,
who has been Worcester Foodbank Manager for over ten years, and he
said: “It’s changed out of all recognition. This year has been one of the busiest
periods for us; we are stretched to the limit and demand is up 30% from last year.
I would like to praise the generosity of Worcester companies and individuals who
are superbly generous and allow us to have the capacity to meet demand. We see
a lot of working families who are living on the edge, because of the cost of living
crisis. Ten years ago we would help 2,000-3,000 people each year; this last year
we helped over 18,000.” Every gift is so important and valued, so thank you
once again. Every blessing, Gill
*****************************************************************************

ECO CHURCH NEWS
Part of our church being in the Eco Church Award Scheme
is to fulfil certain standards. Which brings me to the subject
of meat. British meat has higher welfare standards. Cheap
meat at the supermarket is usually imported and may mean the animals have
been factory-farmed, injected with growth hormones and antibiotics. They may
have been fed food from dubious sources, which in turn impacts on human health
and does environmental damage.
At the very least, look out for the Union Jack Flag logo on the packaging or the
Red Tractor symbol or the RSPCA logo.
Compassion in World Farming has, after decades of campaigning just brought
to an end Live Animal Exports from the UK prompting the government to ban it.
This ends terrible suffering and stress for transported animals and a not very
good end at foreign slaughterhouses.
Maybe just eat a little less meat, or have a vegetarian meal once or twice
a week, or go vegan? This would cut global CO2 emissions quite a bit if lots
of people modified their diet. Because everyone is different, it’s a question of
doing what you can, and not feeling guilty or a failure if you can’t quite do it all.
Sue Garfield
