John,

Today is World Food Day. A day dedicated to raising awareness of hunger and poverty around the world.

Your generosity this past year shows that you care about those suffering from hunger — and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the worldwide hunger crisis on a scale we’ve never seen before. It’s been devastating — especially for the rural farmers that Heifer works with. It’s easy to lose hope as we continue into our second year with the pandemic.

But hope is not lost. Our Heifer teams in the field developed a solution that is WORKING — food baskets that allow rural farmers to sell their produce and earn an income while giving families in urban areas access to the healthy food they so desperately need.

Will you help hungry families today — and all year long — by sending food baskets to them by becoming a monthly donor? Your generous monthly gift helps rural farmers without access to markets get their products sold with the help of "Agri-Ambulances," who bundle the fresh, nutritious goods into food baskets. This ensures that hungry families in need of food are fed, and hardworking farmers can still earn a living as the pandemic continues.

And if you commit to giving monthly TODAY, you will receive our limited-edition The Future is Farmers tote! We are so excited to offer you this special gift and hope that you will carry it with pride, knowing that you have helped hardworking parents feed their families and earn a reliable income!

Our unique and innovative Food Basket program provides food directly to hungry families while helping our hardworking farmers continue to earn money. And with your year-long support, we can do even more to help farmers flourish, protect local economies and end hunger!

Thank you for your generosity!

Sincerely,

Maegan Clark
Heifer International
