Church event rakes in more than $11,000

By Amanda Lowry · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:14 p.m.

For the children of Bloomington's First Presbyterian Church, the Heifer Market Sunday meant a chance to pet live geese and baby cows. But for several impoverished families around the world, it will mean the chance to earn a living. The church's 18th annual Heifer Market was a project of Heifer International, a nonprofit organization that seeks to raise money to provide struggling families throughout the world with animals and teach them how to raise and market them in hopes of giving the families a starting point to make a living. Sunday's event raised a total of more than $11,250 toward that goal.
