Chefs take surplus food ingredients from the charity's depot next door and turn them into meals. These are then cooked, chilled, packed into boxes and distributed across to the organisations the charity supports. More than 1,200 organisations who are feeding people experiencing food insecurity and food poverty benefit from the work of The Felix Project. Its initial aim was to produce 100,000 meals to feed local families and children throughout the summer holidays, but five years on and it continues to support those in need.

And despite how often it's dismissed as "just a headache,", migraine is actually a chronic neurological disease - one that affects how the brain processes pain and sensory information, says Dr. Zarmina Mufti, a neurologist, headache specialist, and migraine educator who regularly shares educational content about living with migraine on social media.

It was April, just a few months since the new administration took over in the White House, and Cynthia Verduzco walked into an office for the most important interview of her life: She was applying to be a United States citizen.

"It is brilliant. It has been a rollercoaster. We can only imagine what Maureen and Féile have been through. Thankfully, Féile made the 400km long journey yesterday from Crumlin Hospital yesterday by Bumbleance. A load of people turned up to welcome her home and to wish her well along the way with many having bonfires lighting on the road. It really illustrates how happy and grateful people are that Féile is home. Féile has been in hospital since July 2."

After nearly 10 years of operations, Perez-Gallardo is parting with Lil' Deb's, which has been through the ups and downs of the restaurant business since it opened.

San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safai talked about working with Lazar. Safai said he could call Lazar at any moment he had questions about policies and would tell him when he was wrong. CEO of the Union Square Alliance, Marisa Rodriquez, said that Lazar is missed by many community members after he retired. Lazar retired in May from SFPD. "I will say that about 800,000 people in San Francisco are jealous of this opportunity you have before you," Rodriquez said. Lazar helped the city during the pandemic and worked together with Rodriguez to address crime issues, leading to a decrease, she said, offering the data to the supervisors.

It's rare that a grocery store is among the things that people love about their home state, but H-E-B holds that place for many Texans. While the thought of all things Texas may bring to mind things like barbecue and Tex-Mex cuisine, H-E-B is another major Texan institution, and one that has a huge following. Being one of the oldest grocery stores in the United States, it's still going strong, and its customer base is as loud as they are loyal.

We craved that space, as overwhelming as it was - space to call home, space to furnish. I reminded myself of the potential and signed the lease.

There is no discrimination against anyone. We had a young lad come in recently from Dublin, he looked lost, he said he was starving. We fed and helped him, my heart went out to him. He has been in touch recently saying he was offered a job and is settled and he thanked us for helping him.
