What do you give someone as a gift?

​

A goat.

​

Seriously.

​

Heifer International has a gift catalog where you can purchase things like goats, chickens, sheep, cows, bees, and other resources to help families around the world build sustainable livelihoods.

​

And unlike the sweater that gets shoved into the back of a closet, this gift can keep producing.

​

A goat can provide milk.

​

Chickens can provide eggs.

​

Bees can provide honey and help pollinate crops.

​

Animals and agricultural resources can also help families generate income, improve nutrition and build more financial stability.

​

You don't actually FedEx a goat to Aunt Susan.

​

You donate in someone's honor, and Heifer International uses donations to support its programs working with farmers and communities.

​

There are gifts at different price points, so you don't need cow money to participate.

​

You can give a flock of chicks.

​

Honeybees.

​

A share of an animal.

​

Or, if you're feeling particularly generous…

​

The whole cow.

​

It's a birthday gift.

​

A Christmas gift.

​

A Mother's Day gift.

​

A gift for the person who keeps telling you they don't need anything.

​

And technically, they're right.

​

They don't need anything.

​

Someone else does.
