Here are the top stories today in Huntsville:

1. Manna House has seen a rise in need for food assistance around inflation. They have seen many families in need come from surrounding areas drive in to get food to make ends meet, though they typically serve Huntsville families. (WHNT)
2. March is Red Cross Month and North Alabama Red Cross is celebrating all of their volunteers and donors this month. In the entire state of Alabama, one way they are showing support is by putting an emphasis on educating children this month on how they can help when they’re older, too! (WHNT)
