Garnet Hill and Heifer International
| Heifer International and Garnet Hill: A partnership that continues to pass on the gift…
In 2009 Garnet Hill asked their customers’ opinion on what charitable initiative they would choose to. The number one choice was the elimination of hunger, and Heifer became our natural choice. With the generosity of Garnet Hill customers, we are excited to reach out and help end hunger in the world permanently.

Supporting communities worldwide
For nearly 30 years, Garnet Hill has sought to work with organizations in communities to better peoples’ lives. And for 65 years, Heifer International has worked with communities around the world to end hunger and poverty and care for the Earth. It is this shared desire to improve communities that forged the partnership between the distinguished catalog merchandiser and the global humanitarian organization.
Heifer’s Approach
Heifer’s solution to hunger and poverty is to provide the world’s impoverished the gift of livestock and training in environmentally sound agriculture. Heifer’s cornerstone of Passing on the Gift—where each recipient gives one or more of their animals’ offspring, or the equivalent, to others in need—creates an expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance.
Heifer’s Work in the United States
While Heifer works in more than 50 countries, we recognize the needs of the many here in the United States. One household in 10 does not have access to enough food to meet basic needs. Heifer’s activities in the U.S. focus on bringing resources together with communities in need to strengthen sustainable, locally focused food systems—providing the security of a reliable source of nutritious food.

With the gift of a heifer, goat, flock of chicks or a hive of honeybees, you help strengthen communities and their move toward self-reliance.
