- ➤ At UNR, one in three undergraduates reported food insecurity in the past six months and many turned to the Pack Provisions food pantry for free meals—its 250 weekly visits and donor support aim to meet growing needs amid rising food costs. The pantry uses donations to help provide more than 2,000 meals when a boost of $5,000 is reached. KRNV
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful is asking Reno residents to volunteer for its annual Great Community Cleanup on May 3 from 8 a.m. to noon — over 30 sites in Truckee Meadows will have litter picked up, invasive weeds removed, and illegal dumpsites cleaned.

- ➤ Nevada lawmakers are considering Assembly Bill 388 which would require private employers with over 50 workers and all public employers to offer up to 12 weeks of fully paid leave after 90 days of employment for family or medical needs — a change that could benefit nearly 1 million workers but faces strong opposition from business groups.
