USA: PHILIP AND AGNES KUCERA MEMORIAL ENDOWMENT FOR SMALL FARMERS
Established on July 27, 2006 by Joseph Kucera of Des Moines, Iowa in memory of his parents Philip and Agnes Kucera, who had farmed all of their life in central Iowa. Joseph said he had once donated $50 to Heifer International in his parent’s name and his Dad said several times before he died that it was the best gift he could receive. “So we feel this is a great way to keep that memory going,” Joseph said.
Some of Heifer's most valuable work is done right in its own backyard. Much of this work includes shoring up community food systems, working with rural communities reeling from the loss of small-scale family farms and breaking the cycle of poverty by partnering with rural and urban at-risk youth and underserved ethnic minorities.
Help continue Heifer’s work with small farmers in the United States; give today.
