Good morning, Colorado Springs. Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 25th of November.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • Starting today, Colorado Springs nonprofits offer volunteer opportunities for residents to support local groups—contacts are provided for organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and Community Partnership for Child Development.  Colorado Springs Gazette
  • Jane left a toxic situation to get help from Partners in Housing and build a better life for her young son. With support from the Empty Stocking Fund — matching donations from local foundations — she earned her RN license, increased her income at a local hospital, saved money for a car, and plans to continue therapy as she looks toward new opportunities.  Colorado Springs Gazette
  • Local nonprofits are preparing free Thanksgiving meals for thousands of low-income residents—Springs Rescue Mission will serve a sit-down meal with prepped turkeys on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its campus—and several other groups will offer meals and winter supplies on Thursday.  Colorado Springs Gazette
  • A Peyton man, Dustin Story, started a free 24-hour food pantry out of his driveway earlier this month to support families in eastern El Paso County where access to traditional food banks is limited—he began with three plastic totes and a hand-painted sign. The pantry served its first visitors within hours and has received international donations via TikTok, helping provide items such as milk, eggs and fresh produce to those in need.  11 News

LIFESTYLE NEWS

REAL ESTATE NEWS
