DECEMBER IS INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS MONTH

The focus for our December Holiday Luncheon will be Heifer International. Linda Dennis, GFWC Florida president, has chosen Heifer International as her President’s Project. Her theme is Sharing Hope for a Better Tomorrow and the symbol is The Ark Filled with Farm Animals. Her goal is to annually raise funds to provide at least 14 “arks” of animals, one representing each of our 14 districts.
Across the United States and around the world, Heifer International is working with communities to end poverty and hunger. Through the gift of animals, plants and training this organization aids recipients in becoming self-reliant while providing a better standard of living, a feeling of dignity and hope.
Heifer’s gifts of animals offer marketable products of milk, eggs, meat, wool, and other benefits that can be used to provide nutrition, health, and income for resource-poor families.
“Passing on the Gift“ is the heart of Heifer International‘s sustainable community development philosophy. Every family who receives an animal signs a contract to pass on one or more of their animal’s offspring to another family in need, along with the training and skills that they have acquired. This unique approach creates a ripple effect that transforms lives and communities.
There will be a table with information about Heifer International and Gift Cards where you can buy shares in an animal, these make wonderful gifs for everyone on your list, especially for the person who has everything!
COME AND HELP US FILL THE ARK!
