Heifer looking for volunteers this weekend and next month

This weekend Heifer Project International will have an educational/info booth for children and adults at the AR Earth Day Festival, Saturday April 23 from 10a.m. to 3p.m. at the North Little Rock Riverfront Park. Heifer will have hands-on activities for children as well as materials for adults to take with them. Of course, the animals from Heifer Ranch will be a big crowd pleaser. This is always a great event, so please come and volunteer your time for Heifer. The event will take place at the North Little Rock Riverfront Park, Riverfront Drive and North Willow St.

Volunteer Shifts:
1.) Set-up and booth shift, two volunteers needed from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

On Monday, April 25 at noon Heifer has been invited to give a presentation to the Hilltoppers Seniors at Goddard Methodist Church in Fort Smith, AR. This group is interested in learning more about Heifer’s impact. Valerie Kimbrough is looking for a volunteer speaker for this presentation.

On Tuesday, April 26 at 1:45 p.m. Valerie Kimbrough of Heifer needs a volunteer speaker for two presentations at Springhill Elementary in Alexander, AR.
