Today in Roseville: Food Bank Open House, Cooler August

Today marks the start of September and as we look back on the last month, temperatures were slightly cooler than usual. Today’s temperatures are expected to reach a high of 97 degrees in Roseville, according to The Weather Channel. Here’s a look at how you can celebrate Sept. 1:

Inside the Patch:

Food Bank Open House – To kick off national Hunger Action Month, which is September, the Placer Food Bank is holding an open house. From 5:30-7:30 p.m. tonight, you can stop by the food bank, located at 8284 Industrial Ave. in Roseville, to meet with representatives of the food bank and learn about how you can get involved in national Hunger Action Month. The event is free and open to anyone. For more information, go to their website here.

The End is Near - We’re getting down to some of the last . The last of the season falls on Thursday, Sept. 29. That means you have only five more opportunities to stock up on some of the freshest fruits and veggies around. Until noon today, you can start your stocking-up at Mahany Park for the Foothill Farmers Market.

Outside the Patch:

Cooler August – It was a mild August, at least compared to the last few years, according to a Sacramento Bee article that reports that there were no 100-degree days in August in Sacramento. This was the first time August temperatures did not reach the triple digits since 2006, the Bee reports. But don’t let out a sigh of relief just yet – September is here and in Sacramento, that means the heat still lingers. In Roseville this weekend, temperatures are expected to reach the high 90s or even creep into the triple digits for Labor Day weekend, according to The Weather Channel.
