Better to give: St. Louis high on generous-cities list

[Sherman A1]

We give and we give and this is the thanks we get: a No. 12 ranking on a list of "Most Generous Cities."

And that's not too shabby, since the survey looked at the largest 130 cities in the U.S., which means we cracked the top 10%.

A total of 13 factors were examined by Lawnstarter and placed into two general "generosity" categories — individual and community.

We were No. 7 in the community sector, which looked at things such as soup kitchens, homeless shelters and food banks. (We were No. 2 when it came to food banks per capita.)
