MISSION
Heifer’s mission is to end hunger and poverty while caring for the earth. For more than 70 years, Heifer International has provided livestock and training in sustainable agriculture to improve the lives of those who struggle daily for reliable sources of food and income. Heifer is currently working in more than 20 countries, including the U.S., to help families and communities become more self-reliant.
In Arkansas, Heifer brings farmers together to build rural, farmer-owned cooperatives in communities that need them most. These cooperatives provide shared services such as marketing, packaging, distribution, credit and loan services.
FUNDRAISERS AND EVENTS
Support local farmers in Arkansas at one (or both) of Heifer’s summer events. Urban Farm Fest (June 6, 2019) features food trucks, local brews and yard games. Feast in the Field (June 7, 2019) is a sophisticated evening featuring local food and community spirit.
Both events will be held on the grounds of Heifer’s global headquarters, adjacent to the Clinton Presidential Center. For more details, visit Heifer.org/FeastInTheField
