THANK
YOU to all the children of GCPC! Our preschoolers through fifth graders
have been collecting "change for chicks" all year to make a donation to
Heifer International. We collected over $160 and were able to purchase
9 FLOCKS OF CHICKS!!! A flock of chicks can help families add
nourishing, life-sustaining eggs to their inadequate diets. The protein
in just one egg is a nutritious gift for a hungry child. Protein-packed
eggs from even a single chicken can make a life-saving difference.
Heifer
International helps many hungry families with a starter flock of 10 to
50 chicks. A good hen can lay up to 200 eggs a year - plenty to eat,
share or sell. With Heifer recipients' commitment to pass on the
offspring and training, the exponential impact of adding chickens to
communities in poverty is truly a model that helps end hunger and
poverty.
Because
chickens require little space and can thrive on readily available food
scraps, families can make money from the birds without spending much.
And chickens help control insects and fertilize gardens.
