Philabundance, the region's largest hunger relief organization says they are in dire need of food and they are asking for the public's help. They are about 300,000 pounds short on food that they need to get out to the community. Their big concern is for the short-term, the next four-to-eight weeks, so they are asking the public for monetary donations at http://www.philabundance.org. The money that is collected will help them until holiday food drives stabilize their inventory.

Clayton, NJ is shaken by the killing of 12-year-old Autumn Pasquale and the arrest of two brothers charged with first degree murder. Pasqualeâ€™s parents are upset with the way the investigation was handled. They argue police should have been more aggressive in looking for Autumn right away. The Gloucester County Prosecutorâ€™s Officeâ€™s responded, saying they poured their hearts and souls into this investigation and worked around the clock to find Autumn. A public viewing will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Glassboro. A funeral Mass at the church will follow at 2 p.m., and burial will be at Cedar Grove Cemetery in Clayton.
