Students in Cape Girardeau are getting free haircuts and school supplies today at the Back to School Bash held at Arena Park, where the police donated helmets for safety. Organizers Kenitha Pittman and Tanyana Ivy worked with local sponsors to raffle bikes and household supplies and ease costs for families as the school year begins.

The Southeast Missouri Food Bank held its first Hooked on Ending Hunger tuna drive during Shark Week and collected 704 pounds of tuna and $321, with Montgomery Bank earning the Big Kahuna of Tuna title—People’s Bank of Altenburg and Wood & Huston Bank finished second and third.

The SEMO foodbank has partnered with Cape Girardeau VFW Post 3838 to run a mobile food pantry on the second Tuesday of each month at 1049 N Kingshighway St. The service starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends when supplies run out, offering local veterans nutritious items like canned goods—fruits and vegetables—and requiring no preregistration.
