As families across America struggle to make ends meet, “Just $10 provides 30 meals for families in need.”
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In response to the growing needs for American families at this time, Convoy of Hope has announced an ambitious initiative to provide 10 million meals to families across the United States between now and the end of the year. Through partnerships with food pantries, churches, civic organizations and other local groups, Convoy is committed to resourcing communities and ensuring families have what they need as the holiday season approaches.
Since its founding in 1994, Convoy of Hope has helped millions of Americans put food on their tables. The “Helping Neighbors in Need” initiative continues that legacy of compassion and practical support at a time when more than 135 million Americans are struggling to make ends meet, many of whom include working families with full-time jobs and single working parents striving to provide for their children.
“As we are seeing more of our neighbors in America struggling from paycheck to paycheck, Convoy of Hope is working to bring relief to families,” said Ethan Forhetz, Vice President of Public Engagement for Convoy of Hope. “We know food pantries and churches are receiving more requests for help, so Convoy is equipping them to meet the grocery needs of more people in their communities across the United States.”
Convoy of Hope’s network of partners is distributing meals in communities nationwide, including smaller markets where local churches and civic groups are already serving families in need. The organization’s team is coordinating closely with these partners to ensure that every truckload of food, about 30,000 pounds per load, reaches trusted hands who can deliver directly to their neighbors.
“With prices rising and winter weather ahead, many families are facing the impossible choice between paying for heat, rent and groceries. We want them to know they’re not alone,” Forhetz added. “Convoy is committed to helping them make it through this season with dignity and hope. Together we can make a difference for millions of people who just need a helping hand.”
By the end of this year, 400 truckloads of food will have been shipped to communities across the country.

At Agritechnica 2025, CNH brand, New Holland is unveiling a hybrid full-size telehandler prototype that redefines practicality in alternative-fuel farm equipment. This breakthrough combines the autonomy and power farmers need—without the run-time limitations of battery-only machines or the reliance on fossil-fuels of diesel models.
Its maximum lift height/weight figures of 7-9m/4.2t and industry-first combination of electric and natural gas as power sources position it as the first machine of its kind designed specifically for typical agricultural applications. It achieves this without compromising lift capacity, height, power, or autonomy compared to a typical mid-size farm handler.
Currently at a testing phase, the machine features an electric drivetrain connected to a supplementary battery/electric power system. It operates fully electrically for up to four hours on medium-heavy tasks and up to six hours on light-duty cycles. During heavy-duty work, a four-cylinder F28 methane gas engine from FPT provides supplementary power and simultaneously recharges the battery. Flexibility is further extended through battery fast-charging.
The electric-methane configuration makes all-day independent operation possible without refueling/recharging. Electricity generated on-farm via solar or anaerobic digestion (AD) plants can also be used to recharge the batteries, for fully renewable fueling. This also means that AD plants using farm-grown crops and waste can fuel their own machine, using technology developed by Bennamann, in which CNH owns a majority stake.
The 2.8-litre engine generates 75kW/100hp and operates at a fixed speed to minimize fuel consumption while maintaining performance, helping to extend service intervals and maximize efficiency. There is 84kW/112hp rated output available at the hydraulic pump and 115kW/154hp rated available for traction. A 70kWh battery provides electrical power in both hybrid – when the engine speed is maintained at its most efficient working point – and full electric modes.
Field tests showed up to 70% saving in energy usage compared to diesel alternatives, and 30% better performance, efficiency and autonomy than a comparable diesel-powered vehicle during typical material handling operations.
The electric powertrain improves productivity: traction control operates independently from attachment control, shuttling response is adjustable, and there are fewer moving parts – which also reduce vibration and enhance both reliability and comfort. Operators and those around the handler – including animals in livestock buildings – also benefit from minimal noise and zero emissions.

FireLite® Joins The Manufacturer’s Other Fire-Rated Systems with Crucial Environmental Impact Documentation
SNOQUALMIE, Wash., Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — To support ongoing green building initiatives, FireLite®, a fire-rated glazing material from Technical Glass Products (TGP), an Allegion company, is now registered with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). This internationally recognized label documents quantitative and third-party verified environmental data from raw material procurement to shipment. It increases the transparency of FireLite’s environmental impact, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results, and demonstrates how the glazing industry is responding to the demand for environmentally responsible and code-compliant construction. With this EPD, FireLite not only contributes to modern, fire-rated designs but also helps project teams meet the demand for low-impact materials in green buildings.
FireLite’s EPD can help projects acquire credits toward Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification and other rating systems for environmentally safe and sustainable structures. While LEED certifies entire buildings, not individual products, this label can be used to contribute toward MRc2 Option 1 Environmental Product Declaration for projects registered under LEED v4.1 or MRc4 Building Product Selection and Procurement for LEED v5. In this way, FireLite now provides more options for meeting code-driven standards for fire and life safety while also earning credits toward LEED certification.
“This EPD represents crucial forward progress for fire-rated glass within sustainable building initiatives,” says Devin Bowman, General Manager at TGP. “FireLite has consistently received high acclaim for its unique combination of fire-protective performance and aesthetic appeal. Now that it can substantiate its environmental impact, FireLite offers another significant contribution to project teams who are also seeking LEED certification. The layering of multiple benefits within one product widens sustainable glazing options for the construction industries.”
FireLite is only the most recent fire-rated product from TGP with an EPD. Joining several glass and framing systems that meet a wide range of fire-rated standards, FireLite continues TGP’s commitment to creating systems that play an important role in safeguarding human life, contribute to occupant well-being and provide solutions to challenges in green building design. In addition, FireLite can be used in conjunction with other, non-rated TGP glazing systems for potential contributions toward the LEED v5 prerequisite Integrative Process (IPp2) as well as points in the program’s categories: Environmental Quality: Occupant Experience (EQc2), Sustainable Sites: Biodiverse Habitat (SSc1) and Energy & Atmosphere (EA).
David Vermeulen, North Sales Director at TGP, elaborates, “At TGP, we take sustainability efforts seriously. FireLite’s EPD expands our commitment to documenting the data project teams need to make the most appropriate decisions for sustainable construction practices. By pursuing and maintaining EPDs, Declare Labels and Health Product Declarations (HPD), we aim to push our products, and the glazing industry as a whole, to provide more substantial contributions toward green building initiatives.”

Southern Company is proud to announce it has again earned the designation of a Military Friendly® Employer. The company is ranked No. 2 overall on the 2026 list and is among a select few organizations to rate as a Military Friendly® Employer in at least 19 of the 23 years of its existence.
“This designation reflects Southern Company’s profound respect for the service and leadership of our nation’s military personnel and our ongoing commitment to provide meaningful career opportunities for veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses,” said Jeremy Foshee, talent acquisition manager for Southern Company. “Their skills, discipline and integrity align seamlessly with Our Values as well as our mission to provide clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy to our customers.”
Southern Company has a longstanding commitment to supporting military members and their families through dedicated recruitment, career development and transition assistance programs. The company purposefully partners with military organizations and participates in veteran hiring initiatives to help service members successfully move into civilian energy careers, including a recent agreement with the United States Army Reserve’s Private Public Partnership signed in August. Southern Company has repeatedly been recognized by a variety of organizations lauding its efforts in fostering a workplace that values the leadership and technical skills held by veterans.
Institutions earning the designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,200 companies participated in the Military Friendly® survey.
Methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by consultation with the Military Friendly® Advisory Council, a group of independent leaders in the military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet and exceed thresholds for recruitment, new hire retention, employee turnover and promotion and advancement of veterans and military employees.
“Earning the Military Friendly® designation is more than a badge; it’s a reflection of deep-rooted values and strategic foresight,” said Kayle Lopez, vice president of memberships for Military Friendly®. “These organizations don’t just open doors for veterans, spouses, and service members; they build pathways for lasting impact. Their commitment isn’t performative; it’s transformative. It’s proof that honoring military talent is not only the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do.”
Southern Company will be showcased in the 2026 Military Friendly ® Employers Guide in the winter issue of G.I. Jobs ® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
