Gift the gift of life and sustanence this year by dedicating a sustainable "gift" through the Heifer organization, in honor of someone we love who has passed on, or in honor of someone who “has everything under the sun” and desires no more material holiday gifts.
With any donation of $20 or more, Heifer will mail an honorary card or send an email to the person you are honoring with the gift. What a beautiful way to express the love and goodwill of the holiday season! When you purchase a flock of chicks, a hive of honey, or a share of a live goat, etc. to donate to a family through Heifer, this supports the family in feeding themselves AND having a self-sustaining business!!
Heifer not only delivers the “gift” to the family, but also instructs them in how to take care of their gift, so that it will continue to offer sustenance and a livelihood for years to come!
UCP attendees can decide what they’d like to give by visiting https://heifer.org/catalog. And for the time being, for every purchase of a flock of chicks AND honeybee bundle together, your gift will become TWO gifts to TWO families, So effectively the impact of your $50 donation is doubled right now!
Let’s honor those we love and also support families who are struggling to survive worldwide with our gifts to Heifer this holiday season!
