St. Louis, MO

Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, the city of St. Louis, Missouri offers an exciting mix of arts, entertainment and cultural attractions. The Gateway Arch serves as a distinctive symbol for the city, which welcomes millions of visitors each year. St. Louis is home to a diverse economy and population. While some residents enjoy many opportunities in the city, other residents struggle with poverty. These are the residents we will have the chance to serve as we partner with local organizations to minister to the homeless, children and elderly populations of St. Louis.

Demographics

The Mississippi River serves as St. Louis’ eastern border and separates the city from the state of Illinois. The city’s famous Gateway Arch, built in the mid-1960s, commemorates the westward expansion of the United States in the 19th century. For this reason, St. Louis is often called the “Gateway to the West.” St. Louis also is home to Forest Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world, covering nearly 1,300 acres. Today the city is home to 350,759 residents, primarily African-American (51 percent), Whites (43 percent) and Asians (2 percent). As is the case in many large cities, there are those who face poverty and homelessness. Between 1998 and 2001, the homeless population in St. Louis and surrounding areas increased by 69 percent. In total, 25.4 percent of St. Louis residents live below the poverty level, including 37.7 percent under age 18 and 17.5 percent age 65 or older. By volunteering your time in St. Louis, you can make a big difference. For a life-changing ministry experience, come to St. Louis!
