Community update: It takes a village for everyone
There has been a lot in the news lately about how our economic situation in this country is affecting everyone. Inflation, though seemingly on the downtrend now, impacted all Americans as costs rose to near record limits.
Government changes to benefit programs saw many more people using area food banks to help feed their families.
