Good morning, Topeka.
🏘️ Community
Let’s Help reported that federal funding changes have caused a drop in supplies while demand increased by 30% over last year.
The non-profit will host a drive-thru food donation event on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. to help stock its pantry for families in need.
🌲 Environment
Nearly half of Kansas residents now live in a few urban counties, making local public lands vital for people to enjoy nature and for wildlife to thrive.
Conservation groups warn that cuts in park staffing and proposals to sell federal lands risk these spaces — they call on officials to secure long-term conservation funding.
