The theme for this administration is Circle of Service, with a special focus on food insecurities. This is an area where all clubs can have an impact in their community, as well as internationally.
Local Impact:
Donate to local food pantries
Volunteer to work in a local food pantry
Start or donate to a backpack program
Hold a food drive
Deliver food to the elderly and shut-ins
International Impact:
Make a donation to Heifer International's Flock of Chicks program. A $20 donation will provide a family in need with a starter flock of 10-50 chicks along with training to empower them to turn the donation into a lifetime of opportunity. Each flock of chicks:
Provides eggs and protein for nourishment
Boosts income through sales of extra eggs and offspring
Ensures security for generations through Passing on the Gift
Chickens require little space and can thrive on readily available scraps. This allows families to make money from the birds without spending much. And since a good hen can lay up to 200 eggs a year, a flock of chickens gift provides a steady source of nutrition and income.
Donations can be made to Heifer International at heifer.org in honor of GFWC Southern Region.
