Start your morning with Our Daily Show and all things local in the Riverbend!

At 9:20, we’re joined by Meredith Knopp, President and CEO of the St. Louis Area Foodbank, via phone. She’ll share the critical work being done to fight hunger, provide meals, and support families across the St. Louis region and Metro East. From food distribution to partnerships with local organizations, we’ll learn how the Foodbank continues to make a major impact in our communities.

At 10:10, we talk with the folks behind Grafton’s Music in the Park, one of the region’s most popular Thursday night events. From live music to community fun, this long-standing tradition offers a perfect night out along the riverfront.

At 10:35, we welcome the Jacoby Arts Center to discuss their new program, OMA (Opening Minds Through Art). This innovative initiative pairs college students and young people with individuals living with dementia to create meaningful works of art together. The program spans 8 weeks, culminating in a public showcase of the artwork—celebrating both creativity and connection.
