May is "CalFresh Awareness Month"

Los Angeles County is hoping to reach hungry college students who may not know they're eligible for CalFresh benefits.

The L.A. County Board of Supervisors is expected to proclaim next month "CalFresh Awareness Month."

The board is hoping to expand access to federally funded food benefits for students and other vulnerable households.

More than one million people countywide receive federally funded CalFresh benefits, but authorities say many more are eligible, including many college students.

Local mini horse gone missing

Rumble the mini horse is missing, and his owners are offering a $500 reward for his safe return.

They say somebody stole the mini horse from his stable in Nuevo last week. The horse-napper apparently cut a chain link fence, allowing him to lead Rumble out onto the street and into a trailer.

Witnesses describe seeing a black Dodge Ram truck with a small white trailer at the scene.

Rumble has a white crescent on his forehead, which is his most distinguishing mark.
