Beehive Meals has generously offered to send FIVE local families a gift box containing five freezer meals, and I’d love your help finding those who would benefit most.

This is not limited to flood-affected families. You may nominate someone rebuilding after the flood, a community volunteer who has poured into others, a single parent, a family facing hardship, or anyone whose load would be meaningfully lightened by five easier dinners. You may also nominate your own household.

You’ll be asked to briefly share why you’re nominating them, but it does not need to be long or deeply personal.

Nominations close Thursday, August 13, at 8 PM. We’ll select five recipients, contact them privately and share an update over the weekend. Names and stories will remain private unless recipients choose to share them.

Now let's get into this week's rundown. 👇
