Good morning, Mount Pleasant.

Millions of Americans are losing SNAP benefits this month and over half a million in South Carolina face uncertainty for their next meal—local leaders such as Lindsey Barrow, Jr., CEO of Lowcountry Street Grocery, have started a fundraiser that has raised over $27,000 so far.

Community member Aaliya Brockbank is also stepping in by offering to sponsor a family in need through social media.

Retired combat nurse Deedie Harrington spoke at the Rotary Club of Mount Pleasant about better ways to interact with military veterans—she advised asking about their service history rather than the common 'thank you for your service' and cautioned against overly personal questions.

Hundreds joined the annual LOWVELO bike ride in Charleston yesterday to support cancer research at MUSC’s Hollings Cancer Center, riding routes from 14 to 80 miles and using stationary bikes if preferred.

Organizers set a goal of raising $1.4 million this year after more than $1 million was raised last year, with many participants riding for personal reasons.
