Heifer International 2011 Holiday Press Kit

This year, ask for your own Heifer International animal gift

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Dec. 9, 2011) – This year, don't just give the gift of a cow, goat, pig, camel or other animal from Heifer International's colorful catalog, ask for a similar gift yourself. There's joy in giving, but there's joy in receiving, too, especially considering the difference the gift you give or receive will make in a family's life.

Alternative gift from Heifer International more than symbolic

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Dec. 9, 2011) – Some may see the value of an alternative gift as mostly symbolic, but for the families that partner with Heifer International, the value is real and tangible, from the steady supply of milk from their cow or goat to the fruits and vegetables on their tables to the higher income they earn by selling their excess crops and goods.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Dec. 9, 2011) — This season there is an alternative to gifts that are meaningless and quickly forgotten: a goat, a cow or a flock of geese. These alternative choices from Heifer International add a new dimension to giving, especially when the recipient promises to pass on their animal's first female offspring to a neighbor in need, multiplying the impact and the benefit.
