Offering for Heifer International

November 20


Once a year Highland receives an offering for Heifer International, an organization that believes that ending poverty begins with agriculture. They work in 21 countries around the world (including the US) to strengthen local economies and build secure livelihoods that guarantee a living income to local farmers.  All this begins with a seed investment of livestock or agriculture, followed by mentorship to help project participants build a business, and ultimately to gain access to supply chains and markets.  These families are able to earn a living income and continuously lift up their communities as they train the next generation of leaders.


Please consider a financial contribution to this organization, by leaving a check (noted "for Heifer") in the offering plate Sunday, November 20.
