Good morning, Bethlehem. Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 5th of August.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • Second Harvest Food Bank said Monday that federal funding cuts left its shelves nearly empty and that it lost all produce, meat, and dairy, prompting a call for donations. The food bank will rely more on dry goods and corporate gifts at its donation center at 6969 Silver Crest Road (Upper Nazareth Township) to help feed about 110,000 people each month.  WFMZ
  • Today, National Night Out events are taking place across Lehigh Valley to build community trust with local police and emergency services through activities like food trucks, live music, and family fun scheduled from 5—8 p.m. at venues including the Bushkill Township Volunteer Fire Co. grounds and Cedar Beach Park.  Lehigh Valley Live

CULTURE NEWS

  • Country singer Darius Rucker headlined Musikfest on Sunday at the 6,500-seat Steel Stage in Bethlehem, marking his fourth solo headlining event and additional shows with his band. He played an 84-minute, 21-song set in which his voice often sounded ragged — his band supported him through the performance.  Lehigh Valley News

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • The Bethlehem Township Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance on July 21 that gives eligible volunteer firefighters a 100% property tax credit, fully reimbursing their township real estate taxes if paid on time and effective within five days. The board also discussed converting part of the Coolidge building at 2740 Fifth St. — currently leased for $1,500 a month — into a space for police training, but no official vote was taken.  WFMZ
