Good morning, Mount Pleasant.

Nonprofits in our region say that proposed federal cuts to SNAP—estimated at $287 million until 2034—will force them to stretch resources further as food insecurity grows and rising costs push more neighbors to go hungry.

Leaders at groups like Meals on Wheels and the Lowcountry Food Bank noted that current budget gaps already affect thousands and quick program adjustments will be needed if cuts take effect.

Mount Pleasant police pulled over Nicholas Burlos (29) on Coleman Boulevard and Fairmont Avenue early July 4 after he drove 47 mph in a 30 mph zone and arrested him on a DUI 2nd charge; his breath test measured (.17) percent alcohol.
