*Egg prices in Georgia dropped just in time for Easter, with some stores struggling to keep them in stock. Some grocerers report receiving limited shipments, with eggs sometimes arriving broken. The Earth Pantry sources eggs from a local farmer, allowing them to offer lower prices and quickly sell out. WJBF reports that Fresh Take has seen a 28% increase in sales, possibly due to lower prices or Easter demand. Stores are hopeful that egg prices will continue to drop after the holiday.
*A tax credit in Georgia encourages residents to support teens aging out of the foster care system. The Fostering Success Tax Credit, renewed by the Georgia Legislature, raises its cap to $30 million, enabling donors to receive a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit when contributing to organizations like Wellroot. Programs like Wellroot’s Transitional Living Program offer housing, educational, and workforce support to former foster youth, helping them transition into adulthood and pursue their goals. One beneficiary now studying to become a nurse tells Fox 5 Atlanta she credits the program with providing opportunities she never thought possible.
