Starting the year with a full heart, folks in Champaign-Urbana are showing what community really means. Alnar Johnson, who once faced homelessness herself, is now leading the charge by cooking and sharing hot meals at Strides shelter. Inspired by her late father’s generosity, she’s making sure no one feels left out as the calendar turns. With friends like Marlowe Coleman joining in, it’s more than just food—it’s about lifting each other up. Stories like this remind us how powerful a helping hand can be. What’s one way you’d like to give back this year? #Safety #ChampaignUrbana #NewYear
