“Now remember, when it’s three fifteen you want to take a break
and donate to Heifer Int’l.” That’s what you’d heard, if you passed by the
Heifer International table at the Our Promise Campaign Kickoff at the State
Capitol. Heifer’s Our Promise campaign code is 315. Frank, a Sacramento Heifer
volunteer, came up with the clever mnemonic to help everyone remember Heifer’s campaign
code.
It’s late August and time to kickoff State of California’s Our Promise campaign! The campaign brings together California state employee donors
and non-profit organizations to support communities and causes. From September
1 through October 31, state agencies and departments inform and educate employees
on opportunities to donate. Employees can make one-time donations or on a recurring
basis through payroll deduction.

For Heifer Sacramento volunteers, this is one of our
favorite events that we look forward to every year. We love to talk about
Heifer’s approach to eliminate hunger and poverty around the world. Often, visitors to our table
are new to Heifer. But we’re always pleasantly surprised to meet someone already
familiar with Heifer that stop by to say hello. Sometimes the story is that a
grandparent had made a donation on their behalf. Other times a friend is a donor
to Heifer and told them about Heifer’s work.
A big thanks to the kickoff organizers for a well-run event and up
beat musical accompaniment. Also, a big shout out to all the attendees. We are grateful for your engaging, inquisitive interactions,
and positive energy that always leave us energized.
