LITTLE ROCK ? The family of an Episcopalian bishop and a wealthy oil heiress donated $3.5 million to Heifer International to build an education wing next to the nonprofit?s new world headquarters in the downtown River Market district.
The family of Polly Murphy Keller Winter, a member of the Murphy Oil family whose late husband was the Episcopal bishop for the Catholic Diocese of Arkansas, announced the gift during a ceremony Tuesday at Heifer?s squeezed downtown offices.
Jo Luck, president and CEO of Heifer, said the gift will go toward building a new hunger education center, which will be named the Polly Murphy and Christoph Keller Jr. Education Center.
