Good morning, Decatur.

New Birth MBC hosted a Juneteenth celebration and pop-up market in DeKalb County to honor the historic day—community members gathered to mark the occasion.

Two shootings occurred in a Stone Mountain shopping center this past weekend, but business returned to normal on Sunday (one shopper reported witnessing a shooting Saturday).

A cooling center in DeKalb County opened ahead of a dangerous heat wave that will peak Wednesday as high heat and humidity are set to strain North Georgia – the center is designed to give residents a safe place to cool off.

Local officials plan to monitor the situation closely as temperatures continue to rise.

Georgia Interfaith Power & Light — a faith-based nonprofit in Decatur — is starting a program to plant 1,850 trees in faith communities across Georgia over the next three years.

They are working with Trees Atlanta, Food Well Alliance, and local congregations to bring more shade and cleaner air to neighborhoods that need it.

Frontline Resources—partnering with A Home for Everyone DeKalb—opened a cooling center at 2585 Gresham Road SE, which will run until next Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. offering hot meals and pickup services from Decatur Library and Chamblee Library to help people escape the heat wave.
