Good morning, Colorado Springs. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 3rd of September.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • Today the Salvation Army’s El Paso County corps is hosting the “Be the Hope” open house at the Family Hope Center, 709 S. Sierra Madre St, where food, activities and games support the ‘Hope Needs Help’ campaign to close a budget gap of more than $1 million. Officials stated that the shortfall is forcing the closure of half of the center’s 31 sleeping units and the layoff of 13 staff—proceeds from food truck sales and on-site donations will fund support services for homeless families.  Colorado Springs Gazette
