📰 News we're reading

• These 20 LA County Starbucks Stores To Permanently Close This Weekend (patch.com) — Los Angeles coffee drinkers face a wave of permanent Starbucks closures this weekend, with multiple locations across downtown, Wilshire, Beverly Glen, Century City and other neighborhoods shutting their doors after Saturday night. The move is part of a broader corporate downsizing across California and North America, leaving many LA County employees unsure whether they'll be transferred or lose their jobs entirely.
   

• Millions go to taxpayer-funded aid for state's hungry families (bigcountrynewsconnection.com) — California has committed $15 million in state funds to keep the Local Food Purchase Assistance Program going after federal support was cut, directly helping the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank serve 1.1 million people. With one in four Los Angeles County residents facing food insecurity, this funding helps food banks buy fresh, locally grown food while also supporting California farmers and local economies.
