Good morning, Helena.

Members of local Lutheran churches including Our Redeemer's, New Life and St. John's Lutheran raised over $30,000 in a six-week drive to supply milk for kid packs delivered by Helena Food Share — a program that helps kids get food on weekends.

City documents show a proposal for a McDonald's drive-thru at the former Helena Hardee's location—designed as a 4,000-square-foot restaurant with a dual-lane drive-thru—pending city approval.

McDonald's submitted a pre-application form to the City of Helena to build a new 4,000 square-foot restaurant with a two-lane drive-through at the former Hardee's site on Euclid Avenue, which will be its third location in Helena.

Hardee's closed on October 6 — and its old building is set for demolition as plans move forward.
