To witness a "Passing on the Gift" ceremony is a very special moment. Each one different. Each one with it's own story to tell. Read the many stories of our Heifer Study Tour to Peru.
Did you get the greatest gift catalog in the world, The Heifer International's Living Gift Catalog, in the mail today? Christmas is just around the corner (I know it's hard to believe) and you'll be sorting out your naughty or nice list. Ties, socks, gadgets, widgets and toys, are nice but why not buy a gift that will change someone's life.
How many people does it take to make a difference? One. An extraordinary one. 13-year old Zach Meskell makes homemade greeting cards, Cards for Cows, to raise money and global hunger awareness for Heifer International. Learn about this incredible young man who is making a difference
Want to buy an income-producing animal to help a family in need? A cow perhaps? Maybe a goat? A flock of chicks? Make a donation to Heifer International on our Team Heifer Portland page. We set our goal of $5000 and we are almost there. Thank you for your contribution to global hunger and poverty.
Why are there people who go hungry? In most developed countries, a general scarcity of food is seldom the cause of hunger. The United States, for example, produces enough food for its 303 million people as well as for much of the rest of the world. It is the lack of means to acquire food that is the problem.
Spring is almost here! Heifer Portland volunteers helping out Village Gardens, an urban community garden, during a work party.
