The Forget Me Nots are a group of Stray Rescue's adoptable dogs who are still looking for their forever homes. These guys are often overlooked by most adopters for various reasons: they might need to be the only 4-legged companion who has your affection, or they might need to meet you a couple of times to be sure they can trust you - but once they do, you'll be their best friend for life! Due to the various quirks these dogs might have, we offer a lifetime of post-adoptive support, including free training (even in-home).
We are a 501c3 not for profit chariable organization. DONATION DROP OFFS GO TO THE MENTIONED ADDRESS AND ARE ASKED TO BE LEFT UNDER THE CARPORT - If a tax receipt is needed, please leave your name and address so we can mail this to you.

Since receiving its 501(c)3 status in 1986, Gateway Greening has developed five core programs to address these urban concerns: 1. The Community Gardens Program has helped start and support more than 200 community gardens in the St. Louis area. These gardens have inspired, educated, and reflected the pride of the program's participants, and have often become community focal points and catalysts for neighborhood improvement. 2. The Youth Program supports 75 school and youth-focused gardens in St. Louis, and works to change young lives by involving at-risk youth in sustainable food production and garden-based education. 3. Whitmire City Seeds Urban Farm, located at Market and Pine streets on two and a half acres of land in the heart of the city, is an urban agriculture initiative providing job training and therapeutic horticulture to homeless and underserved individuals. A collaboration of several local organizations, the farm produces and distributes affordable, healthy, and locally grown produce. 4. Urban Roots engages volunteers from gardening, educational, business, and horticultural "green" industries, as well as non-profit service communities, to enhance the downtown St. Louis urban landscape through large-scale seasonal plantings. 5. Hub Gardens are gardens that serve communities and local schools. These hub gardens provide educational opportunities, as well as technical assistance for gardeners. In addition, Hub Gardens provide helpful services such as vegetable gardening workshops, food preparation demonstrations, seedling propagation, and tool lending.

In 1987, HTA of St. Louis was founded to provide emotional, educational, and financial support to pre and post heart transplant patients and their families. In March of 1998, the Heart Transplant Association of St. Louis was incorporated and became a 501 c (3) non-profit organization. We are empowered to help all heart transplant patients in our area. Our purpose is to support pre and post heart transplant patients. Support and encouragement come through support meetings, social events and visitations with patients. We meet regularly to provide information on transplantation, medications, insurance, legal and governmental information. We have guest speakers, we work on public awareness projects in relation to organ donations, and we keep our members informed of all and any news related to patients and heart donation. We provide financial assistance to members in need through the Barnes-Jewish social work office. Annually we have fundraisers to provide funds for those who might need financial assistance. The assistance fund is not an entitlement program. Therefore, no guarantees are made as to whether any request can be granted. Since the fund is provided with charitable donations, availability of funds, the number of requests received, and other factors must be considered in providing assistance. It is however, the goal of the Heart Transplant Association of St. Louis to be of benefit to fellow transplant patients in need. We encourage visitation with those that are waiting for transplantation and we have a team of mentors who can give more in-depth encouragement and support.
Arch Reactor : 1. A hackerspace (or makerspace) based in St. Louis. 2. A workshop combined with a meeting space where people of similar interests or skills can converge to create, modify, learn, talk and build. At least, that's what we strive to be. Wikipedia has a more in-depth explanation of hackerspaces, if you'd like. Our workshop provides several tools that you might not be able to afford on your own, as well as short-term storage for your projects. Our meeting area, equipped with a projector, white board wall, and a wide assortment of seating, allows us to hold classes, meetings, and other events in comfort. Naturally, we also have free Internet access, generously provided by WasabiNet, the local community based mesh WiFi ISP. We hold weekly meetings every Tuesday that are open to the public, so feel free to stop by and check us out!
