The Summer Food Service Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will provide free meals to children and teens in Ormond Beach from June 3 to August 9. Meals will be available at multiple locations including Camp Destiny, Emmanuel International Church, Nova Community Center, Ormond Beach Regional Library, South Ormond Neighborhood Center, and the YMCA Ormond Beach. These sites will offer breakfast and lunch on weekdays, with all sites closed on July 4. The program aims to combat food insecurity during the summer when school meals are not available.

Orlando Attorney John Morgan Targets State Politics, Clashes With Senate Candidate Tom Leek

John Morgan, a notable Orlando lawyer, has publicly criticized Florida House Appropriations Chair Tom Leek (R - Ormond Beach) and Governor Ron DeSantis for their handling of the state's homeowners' insurance crisis. Amid his potential gubernatorial run and support for a marijuana legalization amendment, Morgan has become increasingly vocal in state politics. A political ad from Leek's camp has labeled Morgan and similar critics as adversaries, prompting a fierce response from Morgan. Leek, currently campaigning for a state Senate seat, enjoys substantial financial backing and endorsements, but faces scrutiny over legislative actions and his personal financial growth.
