By Brian Weckerly,

1 days ago

A Quad-City nonprofit is preparing for a big move, one that could help it reach more people in need across the QCA.

The Third Place QC provides shelter and resources to people experiencing homelessness across our area. It's now getting ready to move into a new space in Rock Island as they celebrate their first anniversary. The organization is set to move from its downtown location to Abbey Station on 5th Ave.

Owners of The Third Place QC tell Our Quad Cities News that the move should take place by December. The organization is waiting on the city to approve their social service license.

I wanted to find out where Walmart's beef comes from, so I visited a Walmart store in Oregon to see what information I could find in the beef department and the packaging. Earlier this week, I published an article on NewsBreak sharing about where Kroger has been sourcing its beef from - Where Kroger Is Getting Its Beef From Right Now - Here's What to Know. I have been wondering where other grocery stores are sourcing their meat from as well. So I went into a Walmart store in Oregon this morning to see what I could find.

No, Trump Doesn't Care About the Midterms. The Only Election that Matters is Israel's.

There is a lot of commentary that Trump doesn’t care about the midterm. The fact is that at eighty and in poor health he is aware that he will not get another term. This explains his name being plastered on anything that stands still and his self-dealing. His base, which is a pie cut into three unequal pieces, all seem okay with this.

5 Foods You Should Never Wash Before Cooking, According to USDA

Washing food usually sounds like a sensible safety step. But when certain raw foods are placed under a running faucet, that rinse can make your kitchen less safe -- not more. Water does not reliably remove the harmful bacteria that may be present on raw animal products. Instead, droplets can carry those germs into the sink, onto countertops and utensils, and even onto nearby food.

This Ground Beef Casserole Solves the Weeknight Dinner Problem

Ground beef casserole turns affordable ingredients into a bubbling family dinner with plenty of savory flavor and melted cheese.

The casserole format distributes the ingredients evenly, ensuring every scoop contains meat, sauce, and comforting texture. It is familiar enough for selective eaters but substantial enough to satisfy everyone else at the table.
