HEIFER PROJECT INTERNATIONAL 

Since 1944 Heifer Project International (HPI) has been providing hungry families with sources of food rather than short term relief.  HPI is an ecumenical, non-profit organization which works in partnership to alleviate hunger and poverty by helping families become self-sufficient for food and income on a sustainable basis.  HPI projects include proving animals, training and technical assistance to low-income families in 40 countries and 12 states.  HPI provides 18 different kinds of food and income-producing animals, as well as intensive training in animal husbandry, community development, and ecologically sound and environmentally sustainable agricultural methods. 

Our church supports Heifer Project International with financial support through the Outreach budget and also through the Festival of Sharing.  For more information on Heifer Project International contract their Regional Office (877) 841-7184.
