Foodgrains bank learns of impact of their efforts
"When Canadians come,we see God
reaching out to us! They don't have to
do this, but do it any way."
This was a comment from a hungry
person who was receiving a life saving
ration from the Canadian Foodgrains
Bank.
On Nov. 27, area project volunteers
met at the First Presbyterian Church in
Seaforth to hear reports from several of
the staff of the Winnipeg office of the
CFGB.
Stu Taylor had just returned from
touring some of the 20 countries that are
needing help to avoid starvation.
He said that the CFGB is feeding
approximately 1.6 million people right
now.
When you can't feed yourself you
have a loss of dignity and you don't
think of the future anymore. You
concentrate on daily survival and often
a hungry man becomes an angry man.
When farmers can't grow a crop due
to drought they often sell their tools,
seed, animals and even materials from
May your Holiday Season be filled with
family and friends, health and happiness.

their homes to survive and then if the
rain does come they don't have
anything to use to plant again.
Hunger is caused by a variety of
reasons.
Some countries have acute long term
poverty and in those areas they
implement food for work projects. That
is where they get paid with food for
building roads, reforestation and other
projects.
Drought, civil wars and natural
disasters account for the remainder.
The refugees in Afghanistan are being
looked after by many agencies because
the CNN cameras are there but yet
millions are dying in the congo and they
are virtually being forgotten.
Even though the world has the
resources to feed everyone, the tables of
more than 800 million people are still
empty.
The local volunteers realized that it
was important to keep the projects
going in this area. Seaforth has one of
the largest projects in all of Ontario and
although the commodity prices and
yields were low again this year, they
were still able to contribute more than
$100,000 in food aid by the time the
government matched it, 4-1.
The local churches and the Knights of
Columbus have been avid supporters of
this project as well as many individuals
in the Seaforth. The group is also
hoping to find a city church to be a
partner in our local growing project.
The Kirkton project joint(' with a
Toronto area church, and they have
founded a new friendship.
We all take our food for granted. Our
cupboards are full and we will all sit
down and enjoy an over abundance of
delicious food during this holiday
season.
Be thankful for that, but remember
what the Bible says "to whom much is
given, much is required." Please be
generous to the Foodgrains Bank and
help your Local volunteers put food on
some more of those empty tables.
