Even if you have wrapped up your holiday shopping, there's still one one last minute gift worth considering ... Nonprofit organization Heifer International, founded in 1944, provides livestock and environmentally sound agricultural training to improve the lives of families in over 50 countries. And, if you've lost shopping and shipping days given the snow storm, this idea just might move to the top pf your list ...
For $120, on Heifer.org, you can purchase a dairy goat for a family in need – or contribute as little as $10.00 toward the purchase -- essentially you buy a share. While the idea may sound a little out of the ordinary ... you gift/donation can help a struggling family receive up to a gallon of milk from the animal every single day. That's more than enough milk not only to drink, but to use to make cheese, butter or yogurt, plus to sell whatever is left and buy much-needed clothes, school supplies and medicine.
Your gift of a cow, goat or other farm animals arrives after Heifer project partners have been extensively trained in sustainable farming, basic veterinary skills, and values-based community support systems that assure your donation is successfully helping those you intend to help. Heifer helps rural villages, urban neighbors, U.S. small family farmers, women's groups in developing countries, orphanages, and those recovering from natural disasters succeed in becoming self-reliant, achieving basic housing, education and health care.
When you give the gift of a flock of chickens ($20), a Goat ($110), a Water Buffalo ($250), a dairy cow ($500) or any other animal through heifer.org, you have the option of giving on behalf of someone else. Heifer.org's beautiful honor cards can be sent to the recipient and explain the gift you made in their name. Heifer honor cards can be sent by mail, email, or as an animated e-card. It's a unique & thoughtful last-minute gift.
