About This Photo

Dear ***,

When the fast pace of life seems to be nipping at your heels, making your mark on the world can seem like just one more thing added to the to-do list.

Don't let the busyness overwhelm you. Doing good can be as simple as buying a carton of milk, thanks to the "natural" partnership of Heifer and Organic Valley. This month's newsletter spotlights some do-gooders that are making giving back easy and fun.

And supporting Heifer is the kind of good that pays off in the lives of families around the world. Ask the immigrant farmers who are finding a closer connection to home through the New American Sustainable Agriculture project.

Alternative gifts to Heifer help families around the world achieve self-reliance. What a unique – and simple – way to make a lasting impact. Check your mailbox for The Most Important Gift Catalog in the World from Heifer, or visit our online gift catalog to make a donation.

Yours for a better world,

Heifer International
