Join us for As the financial crisis worsens, unemployment rates continue to climb. The total number of jobs lost last year reached 2.5 million, the highest total since 1945. Our national government is working to stimulate the economy and put people back to work. In the meantime, private organizations in communities throughout the region are trying to keep up with the increased demand for emergency assistance. How are community-based nonprofit organizations meeting the needs of their neighbors? What's new about the way food assistance is handled? What's being done to assist people who never thought they'd need to turn to a food bank for help? Join us for a conversation with Glenn Koenen, executive director of Circle of Concern, and Major Janice Love, pastor and corps officer for the Salvation Army Euclid Center, as they share how their community-based organizations are working to provide emergency food assistance to those impacted by the financial crisis. Dr. Nancy Kinney, associate professor of political science and public policy administration and director of UMSL's Nonprofit Management & Leadership Program, will lead the discussion.
