Good morning, Scottsdale.

Scottsdale launched a new trolley route that connects the Scottsdale Food Bank at 7601 E.

McKellips Road, Building C, Granite Reef Senior Center and Vista del Camino Community Center to help residents access food and support services. The route runs Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon on a 30-minute loop—making it easier for seniors and those facing food insecurity to join the Brown Bag Program.

Scottsdale Charros gave away about $1.4 million to local nonprofits this year — the highest amount ever given, according to Executive Director Dennis Robbins, with funds raised from events like Spring Training at Scottsdale Stadium.

Defyne MD has added four top surgeons—experts in regenerative aesthetics—and launched the Southwest's first fat banking clinic, letting patients store their own fat for future use.

The expansion will offer new regenerative options in personalized beauty and long-term wellness.

Federal officials announced that Colorado River cuts will remain in effect through 2026 as Arizona must reduce its Central Arizona Project supply by 30% due to poor winter runoff.

Water managers are now planning new water use agreements to handle deeper shortages beyond 2026—efforts that come amid worsening drought conditions.
