  • North Texas food banks are ramping up their Thanksgiving efforts as families continue to struggle following a recent shutdown — with TAFB spending over half its annual food budget in just three months to meet a surge in need. TAFB has partnered with local sponsors to host events on November 22, 24, and 25 — aiming to feed more than 5,000 families while urging volunteers and donations to support ongoing help.  NBC DFW

LIFESTYLE NEWS

  • After 103 days missing, a Plano resident's 10-year-old indoor cat, Grayson, was reunited with his owner when a neighbor spotted the cat in an alley on October 27 and used Petco Love’s AI tool—over three months after it went missing—to match a found photo with its lost report. This technology helped close a long and worrisome gap for the pet’s family.  Plano Magazine
