• Waynesboro man arrested on felony drug, firearm charges (whsv.com) — Waynesboro police arrested a local man after spotting suspicious activity between two vehicles on North Charlotte Avenue, recovering suspected cocaine, cash, and a firearm.

• Stamp Out Hunger will provide 120K meals for local people, families facing food insecurity (augustafreepress.com) — Waynesboro residents helped collect 13,903 pounds of food during last month’s Stamp Out Hunger drive, contributing to more than 120,000 meals for families across the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank region. With summer bringing higher demand and fewer donations, organizers say this record-setting local effort since before COVID-19 will be crucial to keeping shelves stocked for neighbors facing hunger.
   

• Podcast: Are we about to lose the other of our local newspapers? (augustafreepress.com) — Waynesboro’s own News Virginian has reportedly lost its last full-time news reporter, and Staunton’s News Leader may be outsourcing local coverage to a competitor.
