Sunday School Mission Update

Our first quarter of Sunday School offerings, along with $80 raised at the July 27^th rummage sale, will be going to buy animal gifts for people around the world with the Heifer International Program.  Right now we have enough to purchase 4 flocks of chickens! 

 

Chicks: A Good Choice

A flock of chicks can help families add nourishing, life-sustaining eggs to their inadequate diets. The protein in just one egg is a nutritious gift for a hungry child. Protein-packed eggs from even a single chicken can make a life-saving difference.

Heifer helps many hungry families with a starter flock of 10 to 50 chicks. A good hen can lay up to 200 eggs a year - plenty to eat, share or sell. With Heifer recipients' commitment to pass on the offspring and training, the exponential impact of adding chickens to communities in poverty is truly a model that helps end hunger and poverty.

Because chickens require little space and can thrive on readily available food scraps, families can make money from the birds without spending much. And chickens help control insects and fertilize gardens.
