Kiss Hunger Goodbye


Send something really sweet this Valentine's Day - a kiss from Heifer Project, International. Choose one of their animal gifts and send an animated Valentine's Day e-card for your honoree. What heart could resist a lovely llama, enchanting heifer or gorgeous goat?

When you kiss hunger goodbye, you're giving a gift that changes entire communities. In addition to livestock, Heifer provides training in animal care, environmental sustainability and other useful tools, making the gifts a holistic approach to lasting change. And because recipients "Pass on the Gift" of animals and training, Heifer gifts last far longer than chocolate candies, flowers and other traditional Valentine's tokens. In fact, for over 60 years, Heifer's sustainable model has enabled more than 10.5 million families to achieve lasting change.
