Foster families needed to help overcrowded animal shelters in Tupelo
SUMMARY: The Tio Le Humane Society is facing severe overcrowding, caring for approximately 400 dogs and cats.

9/27- An overall nice weekend with cooler than average temps
SUMMARY: Happy Friday! The tropics are very active with Hurricane Isaac and Tropical Storm Joy in the Atlantic, both staying offshore and not affecting land, mainly impacting shipping routes. Other systems are being monitored for potential development, particularly in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, remnants of former Hurricane Helen are transitioning to an extratropical cyclone, bringing rain and cooler temperatures to parts of the Central U.S. Local areas may experience light sprinkles and gusty winds, but overall, the weekend looks pleasant with cooler temperatures and sunshine, although a light shower is possible Saturday morning. Temperatures might warm up next week.

VA helps homeless veterans
SUMMARY: The main goal of an event hosted by the Salvation Army and the Sawnie Montgomery VA Medical Center in Mississippi is to end veteran homelessness. During this annual “Stand Down for Homelessness Veterans” event, many veterans learned about available resources, including housing, mental health, and medical care. The outreach is crucial since some veterans lack access to information through traditional media. Ronnie Travis, a Marine Corps veteran undergoing medical treatments, expressed gratitude for the support provided by the VA and emphasized the positive atmosphere and care offered to veterans. The medical center has successfully housed 202 homeless veterans this fiscal year.
