How Heifer Living Gift Market Makes a Difference
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.
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!
