Heifer Project
Our Serra Trinity Team, a group of teachers who ensure that our Catholic identity is embraced, is inviting you to give the gift that keeps on giving. They welcome each student to take the opportunity to live our SLE, "A Catholic Faith-Filled Life and Missionary Spirit," and share their blessings with others by donating to the Heifer Project.
What is the Heifer Project?
The opportunity to give to those in need, the gift of animals of various types that can get them started to be independent, productive, and self-sufficient people. Heifer International is working with families and communities in the United States and places all around the globe to end hunger and poverty while caring for the earth. For more information visit www.heifer.org
Could we collect enough to buy honeybees, llamas, a flock of chickens, rabbits, pigs, sheep, goats, a heifer, a water buffalo....or the Entire Ark?
How can we participate and help those less fortunate?
Last week, each student received a "Heifer Project envelope" and a flyer containing more details. For the next 3 weeks, we will collect donations in coin, cash or check to benefit the Heifer Project. Thank you for considering support of this opportunity to help those in need. |
