Coming soon! Passing on the Gift Month

April 2009 is Passing on the Gift Month when many Heifer supporters can join with our project participants in a special way. It will be a truly global event and we want you to be a part of it.

The practice of Passing on the Gift is an essential part of our sustainable approach. All Heifer project participants who receive animals commit to giving at least one offspring of each animal to another family in need. We are asking everyone to start a new chain of Passing on the Gift by hosting a fundraising meal in April. Many resources will be available to donors, volunteers, and congregations through our website and by special order through the regional offices.

Have connections that could help us launch a special event for Passing on the Gift month in April? Know of people or places that would like to host an event for a Heifer fundraiser? We want to know about it! Resources and promotional materials will be available soon but contact us at mw@list.heifer.org to get started!
