HEIFER LIVING GIFT MARKET
A Gift that keeps on Giving…
Through Heifer International, animals and trees can be purchased on behalf of a family in need, allowing the family to create income and a future for their community. Giving an animal is like giving someone a small business, providing wool, milk, eggs and more. Animal donations can provide families a hand up, increasing access to medicine, school, food and a sustainable livelihood.
Your animal donation will support the lives of families in need. The one you choose is up to you.
JKPC purchased over $800 in sustainable gifts from Heifer this year!
You can shop Heifer all year round, too, but visiting their site: www.heifer.org
