Good morning, Abilene.

Residents gathered outside the courthouse on Wednesday to observe a moment of silence honoring fallen officers and service members—along with their families.

Speakers stressed that the community will continue to remember their sacrifice.

Downtown parade route is revised to start on Pine Street at North First, proceed north on Pine, turn left on North 5th and finish south on Cypress, letting spectators enjoy multiple vantage points plus KTXS will stream the parade live at 6:30 p.m. today.

A truckload of donated food arrived at 11:00 a.m. yesterday in Abilene at the Food Bank of West Central Texas event + volunteer teams began packing boxes to fight food insecurity as part of the nationwide America Gives initiative.

Abilene Gives, the final annual fundraiser hosted by the Community Foundation of Abilene, raised $2.26 million for local nonprofits today.

The event reflects a strong commitment to community support.

Abilene officers held a ceremony honoring fallen law enforcement before National Police Week to remember local colleagues and recognize community support.

The Abilene Environmental Health Division inspected local eateries from April 27 to May 1 and reported scores ranging from perfect at Starbucks and United Supermarkets to low at Towne Place Marriott amid issues such as a mold-like substance on oranges—issues sometimes corrected on site.
