Blessings Feed Cows Match Your Gift

08/26/2024

Today is the birthday of the most wonderful cowherd boy, Krishna. Devotes worldwide glorify and worship him as the merciful God who spent his childhood herding, protecting, and loving cows. Today, charitable acts to cows bestow significant spiritual benefits upon the giver.

Siya and her baby Gopi were rescued in May 2024.

We have officially launched the Feed the Cows Campaign and the Matching Gift Challenge today in honor of Lord Krishna’s Birthday. Therefore, when you give to the cows today, your gift will double in value for the cows, and you will receive increased spiritual benefits and blessings! The Matching Gift Challenge, given by an anonymous ISCOWP member, will match every donor’s gift up to a total of $25,000. We will announce the challenge’s milestones on our Donate page and in e-newsletters.

Feed the Cows

We start the Feed the Cows Campaign around this time every year because this is the time of year we purchase hay to feed the cows during the colder months. It now takes about 250 bales of hay to feed the herd of 23 cows for one year, costing $18,750. Each hay bale weighs approximately 800 pounds and will feed the ISCOWP herd for one day. Since COVID, each bale’s cost has gone up from $50 to $75. This year, the price has remained at $75.

Dhruva Laddu loves his hay!

On this day, Krishna’s birthday,  you can help purchase winter hay for the ISCOWP herd for a day, a week, or a month.

One bale costs $75.
$75 to feed the herd of 23 cows for a day
$525 to feed the herd of 23 cows for a week
$2,100 to feed the cows for a month

Remember, our anonymous matching gift donor will double whatever you give (up to $25,000)! Please follow this link to donate. In addition, we will be providing milestone update reports for the Feed the Cows Campaign and the Matching Gift Campaign on the donate page and in upcoming e-newsletters. Thank you!

Adopt A Cow

Today is an auspicious day to Adopt A Cow or renew a previous adoption subscription. Each year of adoption, you will receive video updates for your cow four times yearly. Help us give love and care to the cow of your choice!

Your adoption helps us care for your adopted cow. Together, we are protecting cows and spreading the knowledge of cow protection and diet change. Thank you for joining us for the last 34 years, protecting and caring for cows!

More Cows Coming to ISCOWP

Since some of our cows have passed away, we have room to save more. We hope to have more information in the next e-newsletter about two male calves we can save from slaughter. Your participation in rescuing these calves is greatly appreciated!
