John,

I know that, like me, you give thanks for everything you have in your life all year round. And like me, you care deeply about those around the world who struggle just to get by ... to feed their children and provide them with shelter ... even though they work hard every day.

But you also know that through Heifer, these families have a way to lift themselves out of the hunger and poverty they face. And today, you can once again give a family the hand up that they need to break free from hunger and poverty.

We just launched our Holiday Matching Gift Challenge to raise $1 million before December 31 — that means for every $1 you send NOW, $1 will be MATCHED — DOUBLING your impact and sending TWICE as many life-changing animals to support hardworking families around the world.

Whether it's goats or cows, a flock of chicks or a hive of bees — your gift today will help double the families earn a steady income, feed their families and send their children to school. Can you help?

All gifts given by 11:59 p.m. CST 12/31/21 will be double matched up to $1,000,000. 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.
