I'm not going to lie. I rarely associate the word 'Heifer' with anything remotely positive. Until I stumbled upon this little gem of an organization last year called Heifer International. Its aim is to create world peace by ending world hunger. Lofty goals-yes? Let's face it though, this time of year we're all scrambling to find the perfect gift for our loved ones while traipsing through malls & leaving empty handed, as well as grumpy!
Through this organization you can give the gift of livestock to an impoverished family in honor or remembrance of your loved ones. I don't know about you, but I have people in my life who really have all the 'stuff'' they need. My father even has an electric pepper grinder with a flashlight attached(in case he's craving the condiment when it's pitch black!) This holiday season donate sheep, goats, chickens- whatever your fancy & change someone's life. Last year I donated a bunch of chicks in honor of all the cool chicks in my life. This year- do some good, while feeling good about it.
Peace. Love. Livestock. M

What a great cause and truly an issue that needs to be solved. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! how cool! My bf hunts and he said he was going to donate a deer to the homeless shelter. At first I was like huh? Come again? Whatever happened to a check in the mail? But I guess people do it all the time!
Have a great weekend!

That is such a wonderful organization and they truly do wonderful things. Thank you for sharing.
I felt really good after donating...livestock can make a huge impact to fight a family's hunger by providing milk, eggs, etc for years!
What a lovely idea....thanks for sharing this with me.
Such an incredible cause!
