Heifer invitation

Heifer Village invites families to a day full of family fun, crafts, and true generosity

What: Heifer Village invites the public to discover the real meaning of the season with a fun-filled day at Heifer Village in Little Rock, complete with real animals. Kids can learn about Heifer International’s mission of ending hunger by playing games and petting animals from Heifer Ranch in Perryville. There are arts-and-crafts, and opportunities to give a Heifer animal gift to a loved one and send them a handsome honor card.

When: December 3, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Where: Heifer Village, 1 World Ave., Little Rock, AR

Who: Open to the public, no cost

Why: The Celebration of Living Gifts is a great chance to teach children about people and animals all over the world, and about the real meaning of the holidays: caring for others.

Heifer Village
Heifer Village, a key component of Heifer International’s education programming, introduces visitors to the possibility of a world free of hunger and poverty. After experiencing the root causes of hunger and poverty as well as some real solutions, visitors learn about individual actions they can take in their own communities, resources they can utilize to learn more about specific topics and groups they can join that are already engaged.
