Volunteers help out at the Thomas Carman Food Pantry in Marina, on Saturday Nov. 1, 2025.

In today's newscast, local food pantries say they're seeing more people in food lines as CalFresh benefits are on hold. And, a UC Davis study found that over 80% of elementary schools in California experienced some loss of trees between 2018 and 2022.

Before joining KAZU, Ngozi covered health, business and economy stories for WYSO in southwest Ohio and The Ohio Newsroom. She’s also worked as a freelance reporter for Reveal, The New Humanitarian and other outlets.
