Group to honor 4 women who give back to their communities
An annual luncheon recognizes women who collaborate in giving, volunteering, and advocating alongside others while enhancing the well-being of their community through education, economic mobility, healthy living, and access to basic needs.
'Women are always here to empower other women, and we can do the best work when we empower each other. And at United Way, we find that it's important to not only support our own initiatives but uphold and support the other sectors of our community and all the good work people are doing,' Corporate Relationship Manager Emily Boudreaux said.
2025 honorees include four local women: Wanda August, Michelle Hardy, Olivia LeBlanc Andrews, and Yolanda Dixon. Women are nominated by community members before Boudreaux and the Women United committee selects award winners based on their service.
The keynote speaker for the luncheon is Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot. Boudreaux expects Babineaux-Fontenot to give an impactful speech about serving not only local communities but the nation and world.

Cuts to Community Service Grant program would be significant, say Grand Forks nonprofits
Jul. 27—GRAND FORKS — Leaders of local nonprofits say proposed cuts to Grand Forks' community service grant program would be significant to their operations. "As far as Northlands Rescue Mission is concerned and our operational expenses, that would be a pretty significant blow," said Director Everett Jones Sr. "It's not like we have a surplus of funds that we're just hoarding. When we apply for a grant, it's because we need it." In the city's proposed budget for 2026, programs like the CSG program, Arts ReGrant, and the Special Event funding that comes from sales tax collections are set to have zero allocations for the year. The programs' infrastructure, like the procedures and policies, would still exist, but it wouldn't be able to have any grants disbursed because there are no funds. The current CSG program has been around since 2019. The competitive grant process allows nonprofits to apply for operational grants that are reviewed by the Community Advisory Committee and the Grand Forks City Council. The program is typically administered hand in hand with the Community Development Block Grant, which includes federal funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CDBG program provides funding for competitive grants for brick-and-mortar projects. The grant application is currently open and there is $400,000 available for grants, $10,000 less than last year. United Way of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks Executive Director Heather Novak Fuglem said the lack of funding — if it comes to be — would make her organization's work more difficult, especially in helping people get the documents they need to obtain housing. "It'll affect us mostly for our homeless families who were trying to get housed into long-term housing," Novak Fuglem said. "If we don't have the capability through CSG for our families-first program to provide rental arrears or purchase Social Security cards or birth certificates, that's going to add bigger barriers on to our families and onto United Way." Jones said if these cuts do come to fruition, the city and the area's nonprofits need to come together to find something to bridge the continuum of care. "We have to be mindful that we are not the whole — we are part of it. So I want to make sure that we are garnering goodwill with the city," Jones said. "Myself and hopefully other organizations will be available for a collaborative effort to figure out what a potential solution could be. "Thankfully, we do have philanthropists within the community and the community has really been stepping up to bridge that gap in spaces we've needed over the last few months. Hopefully they'll be willing to, again, take on some more of the responsibility of funding some of the programs we know will be impactful." In 2025, Grand Forks' 12-month rolling average of sales tax collections has been between $33.8 million and $35.5 million. The city currently allocates around $2.5 million annually toward its Economic Development Fund, from which programs like the CSG program are funded. The proposed budget reflects increased costs placed on public safety and infrastructure, which are also partially funded by sales taxes. As the state has imposed a new 3% property tax levy cap, becoming less reliant on property taxes has been a goal. "That general 1% (sales tax) that the mayor is recommending shifting a bit on that allocation is because of the need for street capital projects and also the need for a long-term sustainable look with property tax caps and the additional public safety component need in the general fund," City Director of Finance Maureen Storstad. Grand Forks' sales tax is allocated three ways: 1% is a general sales tax that goes into the general fund, infrastructure fund and economic development fund; 0.5% goes toward street and water infrastructure; 0.75% goes toward event center capital improvements; and a 0.25% charged on restaurant and lodging purchases goes toward the Alerus Center's operations. The City Council is currently scheduled to vote on the preliminary budget on Aug. 4. Solve the daily Crossword

United Way relaunches Day of Caring, database for volunteer opportunities
United Way of Northwest Indiana relaunched two major volunteer efforts Friday, beginning with 600 volunteers at 80 sites for the Day of Caring. Their contact information is being used to restart the Volunteer Resource Center as well, CEO Chris White said. 'This is the rebuilding of the United Way,' White told volunteers at a breakfast kickoff at Avalon Manor. 'This is an announcement that we are back. We are the region's United Way.' United Way is about building connections and creating healthy communities, he said. 'Before you leave today, meet somebody new,' he urged. Pierogi Fest and other events wouldn't happen without volunteers, Whiting Councilman Mark Harbin said. He called volunteers 'the heart and soul of the community.' 'Northwest Indiana is really at its best when we act in abundance,' Northwest Indiana Forum President and CEO Heather Ennis said. More than half of the Calumet Township trustee's office workers volunteered, Trustee Tai Adkins said. Getting volunteers reenergized is important to White. 'We're bringing people together to solve unsolvable problems,' he said. Day of Caring has been on hiatus since 2022. 'We wanted to bring it back with real work projects, real viable things,' White said. 'Where there was a need, we tried to help.' That included projects across Lake, Porter, Jasper and Newton counties. Day of Caring was started as a United Way of Porter County effort and focused primarily on Porter County sites. Since the merger with Lake Area United Way, the effort spread. Friday was the 29th Day of Caring, White said. In recent years, the United Way chapter has focused on its Level Up program to lift people out of poverty. That effort, which has helped hundreds already, will continue, he said. In Northwest Indiana, a single person needs to earn more than $30,000 a year to afford a decent apartment. For a family of four, it's $79,000 in Lake County and $81,000 in Porter County, he said. Increasing earning potential for the working poor is crucial. But so is ensuring child care is available. 'The No. 1 thing that's keeping people out of the workforce is child care,' White said. 'Quality childcare is as expensive as Purdue's tuition.' White said increasing the capacity for responding to disasters is also important, promising United Way will help the region become much better prepared to respond. At the Boys & Girls Club in Valparaiso, Tri Kappa member Amy Yuko brought her 9-year-old twins, Sierra and Bodey, to volunteer alongside her. 'Kids like to help out. They really do,' Amy said. 'At first, I thought they didn't really know what they were getting into,' she said, but they enjoyed serving food and helping lead the kids in games for an end-of-summer party. 'We saw some keys they knew so it's always fun to see them in a different setting.' Fellow Tri Kappa member Kaye Frataccia-Seibert volunteered there as well. She wouldn't miss it, having volunteered at each of the 29 Day of Caring events. 'People around me, they all say they're so glad it's back,' said Frataccia-Seibert, who also serves on the Valparaiso School Board. 'It's so exciting to see the reach through all the communities,' she said, and to see volunteers of all ages. At the Art Barn in Jackson Township, volunteers from NIPSCO were working alongside staff to paint a fence, hang mural tiles and weed monarch gardens, Executive Director Amy Davis Navardauskas said while taking a break from the paintbrush. 'Volunteerism is an amazing thing for us,' she said. With 69 acres to take care of, 'the to-do list is very long.' NIPSCO Public Affairs and Economic Development Manager Katie Eason said the Art Barn is one of two sites where the company's employees volunteered. About a dozen others were helping with a cookout at the Boys & Girls Club in Gary. 'We started with a dingy fence, and now we have a bright red one,' she said. At Tradewinds, volunteers from Korellis Roofing were running carnival games. 'I always wanted to give back to the community as much as I can,' Karen Knezic said. 'It's important to give back.' 'I think they're having a lot of fun,' she said as she ran a hallway bowling game. 'They're excited. They really enjoy playing games,' Tammy Silwa, of Cedar Lake, said. 'I've done a lot of volunteering over the years,' Tessa Anderson, of Hobart said as she helped a Tradewinds client with ring toss and ladder ball games. 'Some of them get more excited than I even hoped for.' Now that Day of Caring is back, Frataccia-Seibert said she hoped even more organizations will know to ask for help with projects next year.

Sen. Bill Cassidy officially announces reelection campaign
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Sen. Bill Cassidy officially launched his reelection campaign at Drago's Seafood Restaurant in Metairie Friday. Cassidy was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014 and won reelection in 2020. Challengers he faces in the 2026 election cycle are Republicans, Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming and Louisiana State Sen. Blake Miguez. Louisiana governor pushes Trump to weigh primary challenger to GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, AP sources say 'Louisiana and our country face serious challenges,' Cassidy said. 'I'm running for re-election to work with the people of Louisiana and my fellow Americans to not just face these challenges, but to make our state and our country even greater.' According to Cassidy's office, $2.1 million was raised in the last quarter, and he enters the new quarter with $9 million cash on hand. His team said Cassidy maintains a 'productive working relationship' with President Trump. The president recently praised the incumbent U.S. Senate candidate at a Make America Healthy Again-related health technology event and an economy event. Trump signed Cassidy's HALT Fentanyl Act in July, which cracks down on the opioid epidemic by permanently scheduling fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I controlled substances.
