Good morning, Elkhart.

The YWCA held its North Central Indiana tribute fundraiser at the Armory Event Center in South Bend on Thursday night, honoring women leaders such as Notre Dame coach Niele Ivey and teacher Olivia Critchlow—Amy Hill said the event aimed to diversify funding to support services for women and children in the community.

Today, unseasonably warm fall days in Michiana delay frost in South Bend as temperatures remain 10 degrees above average.

The prolonged warmth extends the active season for pests like mosquitoes and ticks until colder weather returns midweek.

The Food Bank of Northern Indiana is preparing to help local families if a government shutdown disrupts access to food.

The organization has begun gathering resources and planning measures—ensuring support is available as the situation unfolds.

Notre Dame basketball will take over Eddy Street Commons today for Irish Jam—coach Micah Shrewsberry previewed the celebration.
