How Heifer Living Gift Market Makes a Difference
Would you like to be a part of helping people in need be free from hunger and have the chance to become self-reliant? If making a life changing difference for someone in need is on your bucket list, come join us at the Heifer Living Gift Market on Sunday, October 13. This alternative gift giving opportunity will be held at the First Presbyterian Church of Brandon’s Fellowship Hall at 121 Carver Avenue, Brandon, from 10:30am to 12:30pm.
This “Market” will provide an opportunity to “purchase” Heifer animals or shares of animals like pigs, goats, cows, chicks or even water buffalo. These animals will be distributed, along with education and training, to needy families around the world. This is not a hand-out but an actual opportunity for the recipients of these animals to become self-reliant. Heifer International (www.heifer.org) has a special approach to sustainable development wherein the animal recipients “pass on the gift” by giving an offspring of their animal along with education about its care to another family in need, who then does likewise. This expands the network of hope around the globe.
Our Heifer Living Gift Market is free to attend and open to the public. Visitors of all ages will enjoy interesting exhibits presented in fun and informative ways, special activities for the kids, a chance to bid on gift baskets, and a silent auction. Many of the booths will have food samples for visitors to “graze” as they go around the market. All donations will go to Heifer International.
For each animal or share of an animal “purchased”, donors will receive a specially designed honor card that can be sent to a loved one as an alternative gift. (Chances are good that some of the folks on your Christmas list, that already have everything they need, would love to know that a gift given in their honor went to make a life changing difference to someone in need.)
All monies collected will go to Heifer International, who in turn will deliver animals and education about their care to families and communities in need around the world.
Come join in the fun, help people in need and make a lasting difference! Give the gift that truly keeps on giving!
