Heifer Sacramento volunteers were out in force at the 2013 California State Employee Charitable Campaign kicked off at the state capital on August 21. It was a beautiful sunny day for getting to know all the charitable organizations that California state employees can support with monthly deductions from their pay checks. It doesn't get easier to make a difference. No stamps. No reminder mail. Set it and forget it!

Know that your pre-tax donation will help lift families out of poverty and into lives of self-reliance.
How much does it take to help? Five dollars a month for 12-months is enough to donate a flock of chickens/geese/ducks, a trio of rabbits, trees, or 2 hives of honeybees. Ten dollars a month for 12-months makes it possible to donate a goat, pig, or sheep. Your donation is also magnified through Heifer's Passing on the Gift, where Heifer's participant commit to pass on the gift of an animal off-spring and training to another family in need. This is a self-sustaining gift.
