Tis the season of giving...

The economy is hard for many people right now and few have money for donations but I wanted to post about two organizations that I believe in.

Heifer International provides gifts of livestock for those living in poverty and who are suffering from hunger. Whether it be chicks for eggs, milk from a goat or even bees to help with pollinating crops and providing a source of income these gifts are surely appreciated from people who have so little. http://www.heifer.org/

Abundant Life Seeds provides seeds and assists in garden and farm projects around the world. Providing these seeds allows people who would possibly go hungry to be self reliant by growing their own food for themselves and their community. http://www.abundantlifeseeds.com/steward

Wishing all of you many blessings this Holiday Season! - BJ
