First up, Giulia—a cozy Italian bakery and patisserie—opened today! Think flaky croissants, dreamy pastries, and coffee that’ll make you linger. After finding success at The Forum in Peachtree Corners, owners Ben and Seth Gjuka are bringing their magic to a 900-square-foot space here, right next to their upcoming restaurant, Luga. Speaking of Luga, it’s set to debut Nov. 24 in the old Drift Fish House spot. Expect a sleek 28-seat bar, an open kitchen, and a menu packed with antipasti, Roma-style pizzas, and fresh, house-made pastas. Find it all at 4475 Roswell Road. STORY 2: Auditions for Cobb Idol Jr. are due by Dec. 1  Got a voice that can wow a crowd? The Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre in Marietta is calling all young singers, ages 11-19, to audition for Cobb Idol Jr. 2026: Heartbreak & Heartache.

STORY 3: Powder Springs man to run in marathon to raise money for cancer research  The 2026 Chicago Marathon is still months away, but for Cole McNall, the journey has already begun. The 25-year-old from Powder Springs isn’t just training for his first marathon—he’s running for something much bigger: his mom. Last December, McNall’s mother, Danae Huffman, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare and incurable blood cancer. “She wasn’t herself—back pain, fatigue, just... off,” McNall recalls. The diagnosis hit hard. Treatments were grueling—chemo, a stem cell transplant—but today, she’s in remission. Now, McNall is running as part of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation team, aiming to raise $3,000 for research. “This isn’t just a race,” he says. “It’s for her.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 4: Veterans Day celebrations in Cobb County Veterans Day is almost here, and Cobb County is pulling out all the stops to honor those who’ve served. From parades to luncheons, there’s something for everyone leading up to Nov. 11. Veterans Day Parade on Nov. 8 will feature marching bands, floats, and a ceremony in Glover Park. And on Nov. 11, ceremonies in Acworth, Austell, Powder Springs, and Smyrna will pay tribute with speakers, color guards, and heartfelt moments. There are countless ways to show gratitude next week. STORY 5: Delays likely for distribution of government food benefits to the hungry For one in eight Georgians, the wait for food assistance just got longer—and more uncertain. SNAP benefits, which usually roll out between the 5th and 23rd of each month, are delayed, leaving families in limbo. At Goodr Community Market in Atlanta, owner Jasmine Crowe-Houston has already heard from customers. “People are coming in saying, ‘I always get my benefits on the 5th—nothing today.’” The delay stems from the government shutdown, now in its 36th day. USDA guidance issued Tuesday slashed funding to half the usual amount, forcing states to scramble to recalibrate systems. Food banks like Second Harvest of South Georgia are bracing for impact, but as Eliza McCall put it, “SNAP feeds nine people for every one we serve. We can’t fill that gap.” Meanwhile, confusion reigns. A Trump social media post suggested benefits might stop entirely, though the White House later clarified payments are coming—just slowly. For 1.4 million Georgians, that’s cold comfort. Hunger doesn’t wait. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk We’ll have closing comments after this.

This week we discuss the Minnesota Veterans Pantry co-hosted with the director of Center For Development & Civic Engagement, we meet with leadership from the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, Second Harvest Heartland, DAV Department of Minnesota, and Community Resource & Referral Center to learn how the Veterans Food Pantry is going and where it […] The post VA, DAV & Second Harvest: Ending Food Insecurity for MN Vets appeared first on Minnesota Military Radio.

Our guest, Dr. Caroline Jurisich, joins Discover Lafayette to discuss her inspiring work with The Quad, a Lafayette-based program helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities continue learning, building independence, and forming meaningful social connections after leaving school. A Lifelong Passion for Education and Inclusion Originally from North Louisiana, Caroline earned her bachelor's degree in communications from LSU and initially worked in that field. But her career path changed after she began working with students who had emotional and behavioral challenges. She went on to earn her Master's at UL Lafayette and taught in the Lafayette Parish School System before being recruited to help develop and teach in UL LIFE, an inclusive post-secondary education program for students with intellectual disabilities. “When I started with UL LIFE in 2014, there were about 200 programs like it in the country,” she recalled. “Now, there are 364.” The program, which began as a small pilot with local students, has since expanded to 35 students from across the U.S. who live on campus, participate in university classes, and are fully integrated into campus life. As the program grew, Caroline noticed a troubling pattern: “Once these students graduated, they secured employment, but there was still a gap in opportunities for continued learning and in maintaining the skills they'd developed.” That realization led her to found The Quad in 2023. Filling the Gap After Graduation Located in the Oil Center at 1021 E St Mary Blvd., Suite A, The Quad serves adults aged 18 to 62 who have completed high school or college-based programs and are seeking continued education, social engagement, and life skills training. “I'm a big believer in building a strong foundation before branching out,” Caroline said. “We're focused on what we call learning sessions—structured, engaging opportunities to develop practical skills without feeling like school.” The Quad offers 26 sessions a week, each about real-world abilities: Money Smarts: budgeting, banking, and financial literacy. Vocational Training: preparing for, securing, and maintaining employment. Social and Relationship Skills: navigating family, friendship, and workplace dynamics. Independent Living Skills: cooking, meal planning, grocery budgeting, and household management in their full kitchen lab. Each session is small and tailored. “We want to make sure it's meaningful for every individual,” she said. “Independence doesn't necessarily mean doing it all by yourself—it means knowing when to ask for help, knowing your strengths, and building on both.” The Quad also emphasizes community engagement. Members participate in service projects such as filling the Lafayette Community Fridge, supporting Second Harvest, and organizing toy drives. “We remind our members that to be an active, engaged part of your community, you also have to give back,” Caroline said. Creating Belonging and Connection Social isolation after leaving school is a major challenge for adults with disabilities. Caroline has seen firsthand how The Quad helps bridge that gap. “There's so much research on the impact of isolation—higher rates of depression and anxiety once individuals leave school,” she explained. “At The Quad, they have a space for connection, shared experiences, and casual practice of social skills.” Each Friday, The Quad hosts Happy Hour—a relaxed afternoon where members gather for games, conversation, and community. “Some play air hockey, some just hang out. For many, weekends can be isolating, so this helps fill that gap with friendship and laughter.” Members often form their own social groups. “We've had young men who didn't know each other before The Quad but now meet regularly to play cards or go out to lunch together. That's huge.” A Member-Focused Community

Tommy talks with John Sillars, Chief Strategy Officer for Second Harvest Food Bank

The region's largest food bank has a new leader. Sarah Moberg was named Second Harvest Heartland's CEO last week. She takes on the new role with news over the weekend that the Trump administration is ending the federal government's reporting on hunger in the nation. It's just the latest upheaval after cuts to the food benefit program SNAP, which is used by millions. Moberg joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about her new role and keeping track of hunger.

The Rubber Duck Derby is this coming weekend! We get the details from John Sillars, Chief Strategy Officer for Second Harvest Food Bank.

Every month, 5.5 million Californians rely on Cal Fresh, the state's version of food stamps. But Trump's $186 billion in cuts to SNAP, the nation's primary anti-hunger program, means that California will lose billions of dollars in funding. Experts note that these changes to SNAP, which began rolling out this month, constitute a drastic overhaul of the social safety net program and threaten to increase hunger in the country just as the economy is showing signs of slowing down. We'll talk about the impacts of Trump's budget decision on those in need as well as the grocers and food banks that help provide food to SNAP recipients. Guests: Leslie Bacho, CEO, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, a food bank that serves Santa Clara and San Mateo counties Lauren Bauer, fellow, Economic Studies, Brookings Institute; associate director of the Hamilton Project - her research focuses on social safety net policies Lupe Lopez, co-founder and owner, Arteagas Food Center, a chain of local grocery stores with outlets in San Jose, Hayward, and Gilroy among other locations Rebecca Piazza, executive director, safety net strategy, Code for America - Piazza served in the Biden-Harris Administration as Chief of Staff at the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, modernizing delivery of SNAP, WIC, and other nutrition programs Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2020 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that non-unanimous jury verdicts – previously legal only in Louisiana and Oregon – were unconstitutional. Yet there are more than one thousand people in our state who had been convicted by non-unanimous juries before the court ruling and who remain behind bars. Richard Webster joins us for more on what happens next to those who have been convicted by split juries.Last month, Second Harvest Food Bank announced it will open two new facilities in south Louisiana, one in Lake Charles and the other in Houma. Second Harvest says these facilities will better position the organization to respond to disasters more quickly, providing an uninterrupted supply chain. John Sillars, chief strategy officer for Second Harvest Food Bank, tells us more. Immigration remains a priority at the White House.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Lori Birckhead, Co-Founder of the 97-acre By Faith Farm and their nonprofit organization, Fed by Faith, along with Erika Terhaar, Director of Development, who both highlight the power and importance of engaging the community to grow food and then donate the produce to local organizations in order to help those in need feed their families nourishing food. The mission of Fed by Faith is "to grow fresh, nutrient-dense food in a way that involves the local community and contributes healthy food sources to the most disadvantaged around us." The organization distributes their fresh produce through local hunger relief agencies such as Second Harvest, which picks up the food grown at By Faith Farm.During the interview, Lori shares how By Faith Farm started as a dream in 2008 to buy land, grow food, and give it away. She shares some of the journey, the growth from donating 2,000 pounds of food in its first year to 25,000 pounds currently, and the evolution of creating the nonprofit, Fed by Faith, in order to continue meeting the need in the community on a larger scale. Erika shares her story of serving as a "Farm Angel" volunteer and falling in love with the mission to now serving as part of the team, and she talks about some of the many ways the community can support their efforts through upcoming events, like their You Pick Flower days where you can bring family and friends to the farm to spend time in the flower gardens selecting the perfect blooms to create a wonderful bouquet for your home or loved one. Lori and Erika talk about the importance of volunteerism and community engagement, the vision and plans for the future, and some of the heartwarming stories of impact.Visit https://www.byfaithfarm.com to learn more about By Faith Farm, and their nonprofit, Fed By Faith, along with the many ways to get involved and support their efforts.
