Animal Gift

As a holiday gift in 2022, inThought has donated a range of different livestock through Heifer International, a nonprofit organization that works alongside local farmers and business owners to end hunger and poverty around the world. Our animal gift will support the lives of families in need, providing them access to medicine, school, food and a sustainable livelihood.
