Posted by Heifer Portland

Why are there people who go hungry? In most developed countries, a general scarcity of food is seldom the cause of hunger.

Shop @ Heifer International

Posted by Noland Hoshino, Portland Volunteer Coordinator 8/22/2010 View Comments

We're always asked "Where can I order a Heifer International t-shirt?" "How can I order a Heifer coffee mug?"

We referred inquires to the Heifer International's World Ark Magazine, where you can order Heifer gear by calling a toll free number or mailing an order form.


GOOD NEWS! Now, you can shop for Heifer gifts online. Just in time for the holiday season.
