Good morning, Carmel.

Gleaners Food Bank has launched a 60-day plan to provide extra free food credits to partner pantries as SNAP benefits are reduced amid the government shutdown.

The nonprofit said the plan may cost millions to help many Hoosier families avoid hunger—measures that are essential during this emergency.

The Carmel Police Department's Crisis Intervention Unit has served the community since 2022 by pairing officers with mental health professionals to respond quickly to crisis calls (therapy dog Macy supports officer wellness).

The unit continues to provide immediate assistance and follow-up care while strengthening local partnerships with mental health organizations.

Carmel High School girls repeated as state champions in a cross country race held on November 1 at Terre Haute, scoring 100 points to beat Fort Wayne Concordia Lutheran by 29 points and extending their record to 21 titles—Coach Scott Williams said the win came after the team improved with the return of senior Sadie Foley from injury and strong performances by other runners. The team built its depth during the season and showed excellent teamwork throughout the meet.
