Sponsoring a chicken allows you to receive eggs or meat for a small fee which helps support our chicken project! The goal of the Sponsor a Chicken program is to help fund our project while also increasing food security for the community through providing eggs and meat, and allow community members to become "Chicken Farmers" with us.
