Understanding the Need - what the money is spent on.

• Why is this important?  Donating to help a family start a garden (a self-sufficient household), but lack the initial funds to get started. This helps people stay off county, state and federal programs that are paid by the tax payers.) This can include:
  
  • Animals: Chickens, goats, rabbits, turkeys, ducks, sheep (for eggs, milk, meat)
  • Feed and Supplies: basic tools, fencing, small animal enclosures & shelters
  • "Seed Money" (literally!): Donations could go directly to purchasing seeds, starter plants, or young animals, for their zone.
  • Learning: Personnel from D/G Heritage Livestock will assist families by teaching them how to start their seeds, feed and water plants, soil acidity, harvesting their food, collecting eggs, and milking goats, etc.
