Community Partners
Feeding Children International
To meet the needs of the poorest of the poor, who do not even have enough food to eat today, we are partnering with Feeding Children International – a local program that packages nutritionally balanced meals comprised of rice, soy, dried vegetables and flavoring. There are many hands-on opportunities for Westwood in supporting this partnership.

Heifer International
To foster economic self-sufficiency, we will be working with Heifer International. Heifer International provides food-producing animals to families in need, resulting in improved household food security, the possibility of generating income by selling surplus products, with even greater potential as animals reproduce. To avoid creating dependence, Heifer Project provides an animal on the condition that the family passes on one or more of the offspring to another family in need, along with the training and experience they gain. This ensures accountability between families and fosters a sense of sharing and caring for one another. Additionally, a family’s dignity and self-respect are restored as they are helped to help themselves. Opportunities to be involved in this ministry will be highlighted throughout the year.
