The St. Louis Foodbank gathers and distributes nearly 13.4 million pounds of food each year to 500+ food pantries, homeless shelters, soup kitchens and emergency feeding programs throughout 14 counties in eastern Missouri and 12 counties in southwestern Illinois.

This year at holiday time, faculty, staff and students in our department donated 160 pounds of food to the St. Louis Area Foodbank. The food we collected will provide 128 meals for the St. Louis area's needy. In addition, there were two generous cash donations for Foodbank. Thank you to all who participated!

We initially invested in five individuals and four groups. We have since expanded to 32 loans with fifteen of these loans repaid. These individuals and/or groups reside in Cambodia, Bolivia, Lebanon, Cameroon, Peru, Honduras, Samoa, Moldova, Mexico, Ukraine, Mongolia and Tajikistan. The types of industries these entrepreneurs are involved range from weaving, selling goods, sewing and farming to animal sales and hair grooming.

In December 2007, we were gifted with money to invest in underdeveloped countries through the Kiva organization. Kiva.org is a non-profit that allows you to make a small 0% loan to low income entrepreneurs in the developing world (microfinance). Individuals can help provide affordable working capital for the poor -- money to buy a sewing machine, livestock, etc. -- and empower them to earn their way out of poverty. We are excited to be able to be a part of this organization.


UPDATE:

10-1-09 - Our newest investment is Byambadorj. He and his family live in Mongolia. He sells flour and rice from a shipping container in the market place. He will use this money to increase his stock.
