Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 2nd of November.
Good morning, Fresno.
🏘️ Community
Today, families in Fresno went without SNAP benefits as the program ran out of funds.
Local groups and businesses — such as Share Fresno and BB’s Gelateria — stepped in to provide non-perishable food and will host a giveaway on November 22nd at Jaswant Singh Khalra Neighborhood Park to help meet rising needs.
Clovis Botanical Garden opened the new Evert Family Visitor Center on Oct.
29 to offer a space for meetings, artisan displays, and science talks. The air-conditioned 2,460 square foot center—designed by architect Arthur Dyson—was the result of nearly 10 years of planning and a major donation that secured its funding.
🏛️ Government
Fresno City Council will vote next Thursday on a resolution to contribute $250,000 to the Central California Food Bank to provide 1 million meals for local families as federal SNAP funding stays at risk amid the shutdown.
Mayor Jerry Dyer and Councilmember Nelson Esparza said the measure aims to help ease food access for those in need.
