Roger Neal believes in supporting charities. The 2 charities for this year are Beyond Christmas and Heifer International.

Beyond Christmas

Beyond Christmas is a non-profit organization located in Buffalo, NY. It is a volunteer initiative to expand the circle of concern for others EVERYDAY...

The Mission of the Beyond Christmas Ministry is to bless as many people as we can and encourage others to do the same by looking for opportunities to commit Random Acts of Kindness (RAKs) and Spontaneous Acts of Compassion (SACs) EVERYDAY, not just at Christmas. Our Mission reflects our deep gratitude for all God has done for us, our families, friends and our volunteers. Together, we put our faith into action to empower people and provide hope for families and individuals who are in need or in crisis so that they can lead productive, healthy fulfilling lives.

Heifer International

Heifer International is a non-profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to ending hunger and poverty and caring for the Earth. Heifer currently provides livestock, trees, seeds and training in environmentally sound agriculture to families in 37 countries, including the United States.

Heifer partners with community groups to form development plans and to train beneficiaries in animal well-being, agroecology, water quality, gender equity and community development, among other topics.  The training enables them to care for livestock, grow crops sustainably and further lift themselves out of poverty.  Heifer’s recipients agree to share one or more of their animals’ offspring and the training they receive with others in need in what Heifer calls Passing on the Gift®.  This unique development tool multiplies the benefit of the original gift and allows recipients to become donors.
