John,

Your actions of compassion and generosity speak volumes about you.

I have no doubt that you are grateful year-round for everything you have in your life. You don't take any of it for granted.

You also understand that around the world, there are hardworking parents putting in countless long hours of sweat and tears simply to make ends meet. And all too often their children still go hungry.

But I have good news. Today, you can once again give a family the hand up they need to break free from hunger and poverty. We just launched our Thanksgiving Match Gift Challenge to raise $1.4 million before Thanksgiving — for every $1 you send NOW, $1 will be MATCHED — DOUBLING your impact!

That's right: if you give today, your donation will be DOUBLED, sending TWICE as many life-changing animals to support hardworking families around the world.

Whether it's goats, chickens, a hive of bees, water or seeds — your gift today will help even more families earn a steady income, feed their families and send their children to school. Can you help?

• Goats provide an abundance of nutritious milk each day, more than enough for the whole family, leaving extra to sell or make into cheese, yogurt or other dairy products.
• Chickens lay hundreds of protein-packed eggs — so there's plenty for growing kids to eat. The rest can be sold at market so parents can afford to feed their children nutritious food every day.
• Bees produce honey and beeswax that beekeepers can sell at market. Plus, beehives will double some fruit and vegetable yields through natural pollination.

All gifts given by 11:59 p.m. CST 11/24/21 will be matched up to $1,400,000. Every dollar you give will be matched with $1 for double the impact. Gifts received after the match has been met will be used where needed most.
