Project Report: GICD to Receive Heifer
International Grant
GICD is very excited about recent news that we will be receiving a grant from Heifer
International (see www.
heifer.
org).
Even though we will not actually get a real live
heifer, it will mean we can start to fund the GICD Dallas Urban Gardening Initiative.
Dr.
Rigoberto Delgado the Heifer representative out of El Paso, will personally bring us a
check sometime in the next few weeks.
Heifer International is a non-profit organization that has been assisting families in need
worldwide since 1944.
Since 1947 they have worked with groups of limited-resource
farmers in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
In
1996 Heifer launched its first urban agriculture
initiative in Chicago.
Heifer supports urban
agriculture for the purposes of improved nutrition,
increased income, community building, skills training,
benefits to youth and environmental improvement.
