For only $3.50, you can donate a chick to a needy family in Guatemala. Mayan Families distributes 10 per family and includes a supply of feed. Chickens provide a sustainable diet of protein from eggs and meat, as well as a supplemental income from the selling of extra eggs and chickens at markets. The gift of baby chicks is a life-sustaining gift that keeps on giving!..... For those of you attending the Semana Santa celebration on March 28th, the Giving Back Committee will be collecting cash donations and checks made payable to Mayan Families. Please watch for extra details about the committee's promotion of this project in your confirmation e-mail.> > If you are unable to attend, you can donate directly through the Mayan Families website at http://www.mayanfamilies.org/DonateOnline or by mailing a check made payable to Mayan Families. > MAYAN FAMILIES > 2609 Hartford St. > San Diego, California U.S.A. 92110-2315> > It would be nice to see how many chickens we donate as a membership. > If you participate in this giving back opportunity, please take a > moment to send an e-mail to givingback@... so we can track > participation.

LOVE this program. I bought chickens and built a coop for my family last year! I bet I need to add to it this year!
