The Mission for the month of April is Heifer International. Heifer International “is on a mission to end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way by supporting and investing alongside local farmers and their communities.” Their work begins with a “seed investment” of agriculture or livestock, which is followed by training and mentoring as families build small businesses, improving their access to supply chains and markets.

A gift of $20 can provide a family with a flock of chicks, ducks, or geese. A gift of $30 can provide a hive of bees. Donate $60 and a family can receive a trio of rabbits. Give a sheep, a pig, or a goat for $120. A donation of $500 can provide a family with a heifer. Learn more at www.heifer.org.

All donations to Mission during the month of April will go to Heifer International. In addition, a Noisy Offering will be part of the JAM Musical on May 12 and that donation will go to Heifer International as well. So please start saving your change and we’ll make some noise for Heifer International!
