This is communal process, not only in how the funds are accrued, but in how the receiving charities are selected. Twice each year, we welcome suggestions for grant recipients, and then our community votes upon who will receive the grants. Recent grant recipients include Magdalene St. Louis, Peter and Paul Community Services, Women in Charge, I Love Ferguson, Interfaith Legal Services for Immigrants, PET MO-Columbia, The Water Project, and Youth Council for Positive Development.
