This week on Zephyr News, we examine the ripple effects of the recent SNAP shutdown on Butte County residents and explore how local organizations—including the Hungry Wildcat Pantry, Salvation Army, and Chico Natural Foods Co-op—are responding to rising food insecurity. We bring updates on Chico’s stalled tiny homes project, a memorial to Alexandra Winter, a HUD policy reversal affecting homeless services, and major decisions from the Butte County Board of Supervisors. The episode also features ChicoSol’s investigation into a Chico State student’s legacy and statewide reporting from KQED’s California Report on immigrant truck drivers, housing reform, salmon populations, and public health.
