John,

We hope that, amidst these uncertain and trying times, you are well and staying safe. Right now, the spread of the COVID-19 virus has reached 20 of the 21 countries we work in. We are in close contact with our programs and the families we serve to make sure we can help them during this time of crisis.

One of the main ways we help families to break free from hunger and poverty is by connecting their small-scale farms with larger markets and businesses. These connections are critical — and help families to grow their farms and their small businesses to gain economic security.

But, as you can imagine, these connections are strained due to self-isolation — a necessary step to protect communities from the virus, but also potentially devastating to our families who rely on these partnerships to provide for their families.

The only way we will get through this is together. We need friends like you to stand with our families more than ever — and right now, your support will be DOUBLED.

Fortunately, we have a matching gift opportunity that will double the support you send to families to help them get through this disruption to their projects. Will you please support our Heifer International families today?

Each one of us finds ourselves living in a new reality — including families in need around the world and right here at home. But for the families we serve, this new and changing reality could mean more than not being able to earn an income … it could mean not having enough to feed their children. Help us support these families and your gift will be matched — doubling the support we can provide! 

Thank you for continuing to support our work and the families we serve.
