Even though we are only a couple of days into the new year, I think we should all make the same resolution; to help end hunger and poverty in our own U.S. backyard. Heifer even has a new U.S. project called Seeds of Hope. This program will work in the Delta of Arkansas and Appalachia on building healthy community food systems. To do this, it will help to organize and provide resources and support for local communities to fight hunger, poverty and environmental degradation.
