Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth.
By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope.
With gifts of livestock and training, we help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways. We refer to the animals as “living loans” because in exchange for their livestock and training, families agree to give one of its animal’s offspring to another family in need. It’s called Passing on the Gift – a cornerstone of our mission that creates an ever-expanding network of hope and peace.
For over 65 years, Heifer’s work has provided the resources for a better future to more than 10.5 million families. Lakeside Presbyterian is a proud partner of the Heifer Project.
Lakeside has raised enough money to support two "arks" of animals. Each "ark" is a full complement of animals that a village would need to create a sustainable life.
Every third Sunday Lakeside celebrates birthdays and Anniversaries by giving to Heifer. Come and join our efforts and see the impact we can have together.
