Sunday school chicken project raises $200

Immanuel’s Sunday school students raised more than $200 to help families in poverty around the world purchase chicks that could help them become more self sufficient.

The chicks were purchased through the ELCA’s Good Gifts program, at a price of $1 per chick. According to the Good Gifts website, chicks begin laying eggs within a few months of birth. The eggs provide nutritious meals for growing children and extra eggs generate income, helping families grow a small business.
