Heifer International is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of William “Bill” Williams in Rutland, Mass. Williams, 92, donated 300 acres of Overlook Farm land to Heifer in 1983 to keep the land in agriculture and to help feed people in countries with "Living Gifts"
The donation established what today is Heifer International’s Learning Center at Overlook Farm.

Our thoughts and condolences are with Williams’ friends and family.
