Mission - Taunton Food Bank

In our area Taunton Foodbank is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. They help relieve the pressure created by immediate food poverty by providing an emergency supply of food. In our village the Co-op store has a Food Bank donation container as you enter, next to the Post Office counter. You can also hand in donations to the Church Office at the Village Hall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays between 10.00am and 12.00 noon.

In preparation for our this year’s Harvest Time please give what food you can, including treats for children, either through schools (if this is permitted) or local food collection points. See details below for Taunton Foodbank which is particularly asking for long life pasta sauces and fruit juices, long grain rice and tinned tomatoes at the moment.

This harvest time, please pray that we will all grow in our ability to see the people we encounter through God’s eyes. Pray that, alongside our basic gifts of packets and tins, people who visit the foodbank will take away with them a sense of their identity as individuals created in God’s image, known by Him and loved by Him, and full of dignity and worth.

Amen
