and like one said Monique To Lash the marketing director for Peace says the school is working to make the transition as smooth as possible Right now they're in the process of making those adjustments

affects millions across the country About one out of every eight of US Children especially are more likely than the general population to be food and secured Simone McKenny is live at the Food Bank of Central eastern North Carolina with more on how local nonprofits are working to address this problem Simone Right See if you live more than 10 miles from your near supermarket in a rural community you may live in a food desert Organizations like the Food Bank offer access to healthy food but slice 3 25 is bringing access and education to these under served communities We call ourselves the Name and Big Z of nonprofit Jamaica McNeil is the founder and CEO of Sliced 3 25 If you need us we're here If you don't we'll leave But we'll come back if you think this The organization teaches nutrition to people often coping with food and security More than 1.5 million people in North Carolina don't know where they will get their next meal That's food insecurity but most of the food your securities are left up education meaning not knowing what to eat  How do I eat Where can I go to purchase food What's available Slice 3 25 teaches people to find that next meal  It's a five week course that goes beyond the kitchen to include gardening and budgeting kind of everything that they taught you in home economics But we put the music and arts element to it  McNeil says she teaches families to shop where their money goes farther low price grocery stores and at the state farmers market vendors They're like wise farms except government assistance programs such as E B T As a form of payment Been taking it since 2000 twelve's and way are really enjoy taking it and letting the farmer coming Lettuces Farmer give you something your money McNeil's family inspired her to start Slice 3 25 and remains an important part of her work Just being able to sit down have a healthy meal to feel good with your family That says Lord speaks volumes to me because most people don't get that their families right here in Wake County who don't get a chance toe have that meal slice 3 25 The food bank and so many others are working hard to solve this issue here at home and beyond Truth e back to you Sharlee is an important issue Think Simone Dozens of MacDougal terrorist residents are finally returning home after being forced out by a carbon monoxide scare Hundreds of residents have been staying in hotels after dangerous levels of carbon monoxide were detected at the housing complex  The city is exempting residents from all rent payments for the month of March Now that includes families who have already moved back and those who never evacuated a new ride sharing company says it has a safer approach for transportation coming up Find out who created the app that's now testing the way competitors do business Also if you don't feel like going out for groceries or your favorite meal why not have him come to you And you don't even have to worry about interacting with people Keep it here for college students without cars finding a safe way to get to their destination Convey an issue A student at UNC Chapel Hill hopes his new app helps solve that problem Eliza He spoke with him and helps explain how that works  Elissa Vector Rideshare is an app that allows you to travel several hours away but the main difference is that only college students and university staff are allowed to use it For some college students finding a safe ride can be a struggle I think that as a woman there's always a little bit of concern with safety and carpooling However finding that ride becomes harder when your trip is two or three hours away I always have a hard time because I don't have a car and so I don't have any way of getting home You're a college student Campus is empty and you're trying to get home for break and home is a couple 100 miles away You don't have the wheels Acts like uber and lift convey expensive and you're worried about your safety So when someone's making the trip actually you can select a seat in the car This is where Nea Maya Stewart and his brand new car pooling app called Vector rideshare come in The AP targets the campus community I want to ride in the safe networks on Lee students only faculty and I wanted to be a streamlined platform Everyone makes app so I'm making an app His gold with the APP is to achieve safety All drivers and riders must have a registered university i D but also a link to their social media account Stuart hopes while connecting drivers with riders he's also connecting people with people We had a student from Virginia who wrote home with the professor from Duke and at the end of the ride the professor offers him a spot in the lab  And I was like Man like This is amazing This is the home screen Looks like one thing is for sure I've been telling all my friends about it Victor Rideshare has a fan in Haiti Glenn even if you're driving home for the weekend you're like Hey you could just pick someone up And it's super easy way to make money and also just meet New People Blend tells me she hopes to continue using the app to take her from Raleigh to her home in Charlotte and Stuart says his next goal is to bring this app toe every university connecting students all over the country and interesting after checkout Thanks Melissa The Corona viruses forcing more people to work from home and others to stay indoors As result Some ride share drivers of having a hard time making ends meet One hard hit area is Washington State the center of the outbreak in the U S The new lifestyle change is leaving uber and Lyft drivers without a steady income have no fear from the crown of fire is because of what I have back home  I have no food on the table I have no money to pay the rent The ride share companies are handing out cleaning supplies to drivers and will offer compensation for any who might fall ill to Cove in 19 As the number of Corona virus cases continues to increase Ah growing number of food delivery companies in the US are offering a new service It's called Leaving My Door Delivery The future gives customers the option tohave their orders left at their doorstep to avoid human interaction Companies like Postmates an insta cart introduced the option because of increased demand The service is modeled after a concept that was adopted in China where the Corona virus was first detected If you like being outside there's going to be one more place you can visit In Wake County a 400 acre preserve is getting ready to open next month The Williamson Preserve is located in the Walnut Hill Historic District It's the yellow shaped area on this map Import parts of Wake and Johnson County DeAndre Henderson is live in Raleigh with the challenges of preserving these special places Yes sandal As you can see the growing population of cities like Roddy is becoming more and more difficult to protect green spaces just like this But it takes the entire community to do simple things like using reusable cups and recycling Wake County Mob Carisa Awesome Bog wants her Children to connect with nature I would say 2 to 4 times a month out here to actually be like in trails and such not just outside the front yard Backyard 1000 Bucks says She teaches her Children to preserve the planet We try not to use single use plastic like they have stainless steel cups and they've got stainless steel straws and things that we take with us We recycle on They find outdoor activities that are fun for the whole family We do things like putting up bird feeders We have tons of plants and stuff to try toe bring in bees and butterflies My favorite is to see what Chris Smith of the Natural Sciences Museum is serious about protecting wildlife There are types of the animals that live right here in our backyards Don't live anywhere else They need a space to be able to thrive and grow by setting aside places by supporting conservation Ever waken help to protect those species as well as the ones that we see Maybe all the time Triangle Area has a lot of opportunity like Lake Johnson Park for you to get out and enjoy nature I can't think of anyone who does not benefit from conservation It's easy to help You can donate time volunteer You can donate money but really things like recycling Composting work starts when you're young So hopefully that will carry on when they get older  And they're not just wanting to sit in a room and stare at the TV all day every day Yeah the woman's and Preserve opens to the public April 25th and it's just 20 minutes of west of Downtown Raleigh Back to you John Doe Very important Thank you DeAndre Every artist wants a Grammy right Well how about having a bug named after them This is Kaya Gaga named after a pop star Lady Gaga The insect is a newly identified species of tree hopper an insect group that populates most forests on Earth K Gaga is native to Nicaragua and a graduate student who discovered and named the new insects says that it's crazy horns and seemingly wacky fashion sense led him to the name Scientists still don't know how the bug interacts with other animals and what her song sounds like They will head back to Nicaragua to learn more about the species Spring is almost here and it's time to start celebrating  Today is National Plant a flower day Some spring favorites include daffodils tulips and more Now gardening can get a little messy but it's a great way to get outside and welcome the new season  Spending time outside in the sun can also boost your vitamin D and help shake off those Corona virus blues  He is credited with

I'm meteorologist, Kat Campbell in the wr a severe weather center. No more thirties in the forecast and we don't have a frost threat tonight so you can leave your plants be, temperatures are falling into the upper forties to lower fifties overnight. We've got a different wind direction and some more clouds that will fill in by daybreak tomorrow at the bus stop, it'll be in the low to mid fifties for most of the kids out there. So a mild start, but you may want to send your kids to school with an umbrella because by the time they head home, some of us are going to be dealing with a chance for rain during the afternoon. It's all due to this cold front. Approaching from the northwest. There's not a lot of moisture for the front to work with, but just enough and enough lift to squeeze out some rain. I think that rain chances would start in our northwestern counties around 11 a.m. through lunchtime. And then that chance is really closer to, to three o'clock here in the triangle. But that might be when the kids are heading home as we get toward 456. It would be south and east of the triangle with the best chance for rain. Rocky Mount, Southern Pines. I'm thinking you'll be in that 3 to 5 p.m. time frame for rain. It's not going to be a very heavy rain. There is a small chance of a thunderstorm embedded, but most of us will just see some pretty light rain. In fact, models are showing less than 5/100 of an inch of rain. So very tiny rainfall amounts from this event. We do have the Durham Bulls in town this week. And luckily the forecast looks good for all of their home games. First pitch is at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We've just got wonderful baseball weather. Temperatures will be near 70 for the first pitches and the rain should be over in Durham, the triangle by the time we get to dinner time for tomorrow evening, which means it's likely to be a dry game for us. Your seven day forecast show, some big changes are on the way though. We've got 74 for the high Wednesday with chance for rain Thursday just 72. So a small dip in our high temperatures more noticeable at night though we fall into the upper forties Thursday night to Friday morning, we're going with 47 as the low Friday morning around the triangle. And then once we get to the weekend temperatures begin to rebound. However, that will come with an increasing cloud cover mostly cloudy Saturday and Sunday. But back in the eighties by Sunday and even warmer next week, highs could climb near 90 a week from today.
