Feed the hungry
There are a bunch of organizations that let you gift animals
to struggling families in someone else’s name. Heifer International offers up
these adorable starter flock of chicks. Once they’re grown, a hen can lay 200
eggs a year—plenty to feed starving bellies and sell at a local market.
