6 HELP GIVE A GIFT FOR THIS FATHER S DAY THAT KEEPS ON GIVING! Once again our Mission-Outreach Team is inviting folks to remember and celebrate FATHER S DAY by giving a gift to Heifer Project International in loving memory or in joyful honor of all Dads. Heifer Project animals (and training in their care) offer hungry families around the world a way to feed themselves and become self-reliant. Children receive nutritious meat, milk or eggs; families earn income for school, health care and better housing; farmers learn sustainable, environmentally sound agricultural techniques. Families who receive an animal pledge are asked to pass on a baby of their gift animal to increase the welfare of their whole community. The idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief has continued for more than 50 years. As a result, families in 115 countries have enjoyed better health, more income and the joy of helping others. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
