SUMMARY: Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry has seen an 89% increase in demand since 2020, serving the most neighbors in its 37-year history. The nonprofit is planning to rebuild and expand its facilities to meet the growing needs of the county. The new building will double storage space, include a teaching kitchen, and set up a “corner store” for people to select their own items with dignity. The pantry aims to open the new facility in December 2025, with 80% of the $7 million project goal already reached through community support. Donations, volunteer hours, and support are needed to help the nonprofit continue its mission.

SUMMARY: In April, Austin Public inspected nearly 500 locations, with 65 earning perfect health inspection scores. This may seem inflated due to the smaller pool of inspections for the month. For comparison, April 2023 saw 564 inspections with 9.9% receiving perfect scores. The current average monthly rate is 10.8%, approaching last year's rate of 11.4%. Noteworthy perfect scorers include local school cafeterias and several franchise restaurants such as Popeye's, Denny's, Chick-fil-A, Pizza Hut, and McDonald's. The article emphasizes the accomplishment of these establishments in maintaining high health standards.

SUMMARY: President Joe Biden affirmed his commitment to the presidential race during a meeting with campaign staff, despite discussions about his debate performance against former President Donald Trump, which was attributed to illness and travel fatigue. Some Democrats are considering urging Biden to withdraw, citing internal dissatisfaction. The Boston Globe and New York Times have called for Biden to step aside in favor of other candidates, while The Washington Post reported Trump's campaign hopes Biden remains, believing Trump can defeat him. Biden maintains support from key Democrats, though concerns persist as the November election approaches.
