Heifer Project

Heifer envisions a world of communities living together in peace and equitably sharing the resources of a healthy planet. Heifer's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and to care for the earth. Its strategy is to "pass on the gift". As people share their animals' offspring with others - along with their knowledge, resources and skills - an expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance is created that reaches around the globe. For almost 60 years the simple idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief has given millions of families in 128 countries the gifts of self-reliance and hope.

Our Church School children use their weekly offering to buy animals for people in need through Heifer Project. With help from some of the adults in the congregation they have bought a heifer, fish, ducks and a goat in 2006. Contact  for more information.
