Good morning, Aurora.

State Rep. Suzanne Ness is sponsoring her fifth annual Diaper Drive that runs through Monday, Nov.

3 at several locations in the 66th House District to collect diaper and baby wipe donations for local food pantries — Amazon has donated 19,000 diapers and 108 cases of baby wipes, and a new Diaper Drive Wishlist on Amazon lets donors send items directly to Ness’s office.

Federal food aid paused on November 1 as the government shutdown halted SNAP benefits for many households in the area.

Aurora Police Department launched a new Senior Safety and Resources Unit to help seniors avoid scams and crimes—using trained officers to patrol neighborhoods and work with community services for support—ensuring seniors get direct help when needed.
