OLL Signs 10th Microloan

Three years ago, Our Lady of the Lake began the process of creating their innovative Microloan Program, looking for a way to offer more than just a hand out to hard working people in the community who wanted ways to better their lives. Since then, the Microloan Program has supported an array of small local businesses and start-ups, from a thrift store to a cleaning service, and much more.

In January, OLL kicked off the new year by making their tenth Microloan, to Asu Pelima at African Variety Market on Lakeshore. Asu has plans to expand his business, bring more unique African products to the community, and possibly explore other delicious options like ready-made meals. Customers travel from throughout the area to get his products, and neighbors also love to stop in for his friendly service. If you haven’t met Asu, stop in the shop and join us in wishing him well as he grows his business!
