That’s why we’ve joined Albertsons Companies Foundation’s first-of-its-kind coalition of food banks/food pantries, school districts, community organizations, and other partners across the country to help tackle hunger. Check if your household qualifies for $120 for groceries per eligible child through USDA’s new, permanent Summer EBT program at SummerEBT.org

In Texas, Whataburger is more than just fast food; it’s a cultural icon and a source of local pride. Since its founding in Corpus Christi in 1950, it has been a go-to for Texans craving quality burgers and great service. After Hurricane Beryl hit, many turned to the Whataburger app to find open locations, using it as an informal power outage map. This creative use helped strengthen community ties during a tough time. However, on November 20, 2024, Nearby Systems LLC filed a lawsuit claiming the app infringes several patents, including US Pat. No. 9,532,164.

Purchasing food daily rather than doing a big shop means not only higher costs, but also facing a struggle to buy nutritious food for growing children.

The Cyrenians team applied to the @BBCChildreninNeed Emergency Essentials Fund on their behalf and within a week, their new appliance was up and running.
