New refrigerated truck fuels WAFER Food Pantry's mission
The new refrigerated truck will enable the safe transport of perishable items, such as those donated by generous retail partners through the 'Retail Recovery' program. (Retail partners can be found on the WAFER website) Food recovery is a significant aspect of WAFER's operations, accounting for nearly 1.5 million pounds recovered annually. WAFER seeks to provide fresh, nutritious food to individuals and families. 'This acquisition, made possible through generous support, underscores our collective commitment to addressing food insecurity in our region and providing balanced, nutritious meals to our community', said Erin Waldhart, Executive Director for WAFER Food Pantry.
WAFER made a special note to thank its supporters for committing to advance the mission to fight hunger right here at home. Supporters like;
Otto Bremer Trust
ALM Charities
Gundersen Health System/Emplify
Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research
Three donor-advised funds at La Crosse Area Community Foundation (The Robert and Eleanor Franke Fund, George and Virginia Schneider Family Fund, and Guenther-Froegel Family Fund)
The Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection 'Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure' equipment grant.
WAFER is La Crosse County's largest food pantry, serving the greater La Crosse area. Each month WAFER provides food packages to 1500 families or 3600 individuals, intended to provide 4-5 days' worth of food per person. Last year, WAFER collected and distributed 1.9 million pounds (equivalent to 1.6 million meals) through in-house and outreach programming such as senior package delivery, weekend backpacks for rural students, and Mobile Pantry services.

BT, EE and Plusnet announce new price rises
BT and EE have raised mid-contract price rises for customers taking out a new deal from Thursday. New BT and EE customers who sign up for broadband from July 31 will see their monthly price rise by £4 mid-way through their contract. This will come into effect on March 31 next year, then again on the same date in 2027. The previous mid-contract price rise was £3 a month. Meanwhile, Plusnet customers will also be subject to a mid-contract price rise of £4 a month from August 5. EE, BT and Plusnet mobile customers will also be hit with higher mid-contract price rises. Those who are a Sim-only or Flex Pay customer will see their contract price rise by £2.50 a month from April, while bundled handset and airtime plan customers will face a £4 rise. A BT consumer spokesman said: 'We are very supportive of Ofcom's requirement to show upfront pounds and pence charges. EE was the first provider to introduce this pricing model, offering EE customers a predictable long-term view of their contract terms. Our pricing approach is designed to be clear for our customers. 'We continue to invest in our business, building on 11 years as the best network to better serve our customers with a reliable and quality connection as we roll out the fastest speed technology to 30 million homes by the end of the decade. We're focused on providing value and customer satisfaction, making new technologies available to our customers such as 5G standalone and WiFi 7.' Ernest Doku, telecoms spokesman at said: 'In another pounding for consumers' wallets, BT, EE and Plusnet will hike mid-contract price rises to £4 per month for broadband and EE £2.50 per month for some mobile customers. 'This adds an extra £1 to mid-contract price rises for new and recontracting customers signing up from 31 July 2025 for EE and BT and 5 August 2025 for Plusnet. 'BT's price updates have often set a precedent for other providers to follow suit. If this trend continues, the telecoms industry runs the risk of creating its own, accelerated rate of inflation.' Mr Doku added: 'Based on our research, where the average BT customer pays £31.50, EE customer £29.20 and Plusnet customer £25.80 for home broadband, this represents a staggering rise of between 12.6% and 15.5% – significantly higher than current inflation of 3.6%. 'From 31 July, EE Sim-only and Flex Pay airtime mobile customers signing up for new deals will see a £2.50 monthly increase applied in March 2025. For those taking out EE's cheapest £18 per month Sim-only plan, this is the equivalent of a notable 13.8% hike. 'This change only applies to customers taking out new contracts, so if you are currently a BT, Plusnet or EE customer and your plan is up for renewal before March 2026 you should shop around for other options. Many regional broadband providers such as YouFibre and Trooli and mobile providers including Lebara and Smarty don't raise prices mid-contract.' Which? director of policy and advocacy Rocio Concha said: 'It's shocking that BT is choosing to increase its mid-contract price rises above the rate of inflation for any new customers who sign up for broadband packages from BT, EE or Plusnet from 31st July. 'Any out-of-contract BT, EE and Plusnet customers who aren't happy with these hikes should vote with their feet and switch to a cheaper deal. 'We'd always recommend carefully weighing up the total costs of any new contract to ensure it offers value for money and you're aware of any possible increases.'

T-Mobile now officially owns UScellular
T-Mobile has sealed the deal on its UScellular acquisition. In exchange for $4.3 billion, T-Mobile gets UScellular's customers, stores and 30 percent of its spectrum. If you're a UScellular customer, you don't have to do anything. "UScellular customers stay on their existing plans with no changes for now," the carrier said. You can continue to manage your account through UScellular's website. You can also still turn to the T-Mobile-owned carrier for customer support. The $4.3 billion wasn't the only price T-Mobile had to pay. To gain the approval of Trump's FCC, the carrier agreed to gut its DEI programs. That followed Verizon doing the same for its Frontier acquisition. The president has used merger approvals as a cudgel to push his agenda (including getting lawsuits settled) in the private sector. UScellular will now exist only as an infrastructure company. It can now generate revenue from licensing its remaining spectrum and towers.
