Rising fuel costs significantly impact nonprofit organizations' operational expenses, as demonstrated by Feeding San Diego, which saw its monthly fuel costs double to $32,000 due to increased diesel prices, straining its ability to deliver food to the community.

The Streamline: Friday, May 15Añadido:
President Trump says China agrees that it wants to end the war with Iran as the two countries wrap up a historic summit.
It's time for the streamline. Everything you need to know today in 10 minutes or less. Trump says both countries want to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
The president says China has also agreed to not supply Iran with military equipment.
>> We feel very similar in Iran. We want that to end. We don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. We uh want the straits open.
>> However, observers say China is in no rush to pressure Iran to reopen the Straight of Hormuz. China also wants to continue buying oil from Iran. During the trip, Trump and China's President Xiinping also agreed to a number of other deals. That includes China agreeing to buying 200 Boeing jets, American oil, and soybeans. Gas prices appear to be plateauing back here at home. Nationally, the price is still $453.
Here in San Diego, gas prices fell. It's fell 1 cent to $6.17 a gallon for regular. However, the price of diesel, it is so high, nearing record highs. Before the war, diesel was just above $5 a gallon countywide. And now it is at $728.
According to AAA, the highest price ever recorded in San Diego County is $7.72 back in April. And all these skyrocketing gas prices, they are hitting nonprofits. ABC Tenders reporter Ryan Hill looks at the added cost, putting a strain on Feeding San Diego's mission.
>> Feeding San Diego tells me their fuel cost for the month of April jumped to around $32,000 with these higher than normal gas prices. They say that's double than what it used to be.
So, we kind of have a triple whammy going on with the fuel situation.
>> Patty O' Conor is the chief operating officer for Feeding San Diego. She says whammy number one with the gas prices, bringing the food into Feeding San Diego's food distribution site.
>> We bring about 2 million pounds a month here and a lot of that is most of that is rescued food, but we still have to pay for the freight. That cost us over $100,000 last month just in freight to bring that in. The organization also sends that food out into the community by truck and by van.
>> Every day you'll see our bright orange trucks going out into the community. We do about 25 deliveries a day, but about $480 over the course of a month. And if you can imagine, that costs a lot of money. In fact, last month that cost us about $32,000 in just fuel costs. We rely on diesel fuel and that was twice as much as it was a year ago. It's not only more expensive to fuel the trucks delivering the food, but it's also more expensive to keep what's inside of them cool.
>> We're loading and unloading. We need to make sure that the trucks are running so that we can keep the food food safe. So, that's a whole other part of this process that we are managing.
>> Feeding San Diego's also hearing from some partners that are on the food rescue side of things that it's more expensive to drive to pick up those products. To counter that, some people are getting gas cards just so they can get to a distribution site. You know, we look to the community to support us and so far San Dieans are generous and they have been generous and we really do need to continue that generosity so that we can support the struggling families throughout the county and whatever we can do to support those families, we are going to do.
>> Ryan Hill, ABC10 News.
>> A San Diego High School student is under arrest for bringing a loaded gun onto campus. Police say the boy was caught with the gun in his pants last week at Garfield High. That's downtown. When police searched his house, they found a 3D printer, 3D printed handgun frames, and over a 100 rounds of ammunition.
According to SDPD's ghost gun team, the team the teen was supplying firearms and was also recently involved in a robbery at a trolley station.
>> This school is like a one chance school and if you mess up then like you're out.
So that person messed up.
>> The school is pursuing expulsion. The boys being held in juvenile detention on a number of charges. The haunt outbreak may be expanding. At least 41 Americans are now being monitored for the disease.
It began on an Atlantic cruise ship, but the CDC says 16 of the people they're monitoring were never on board. They may have been exposed to an infected person on flights. Meanwhile, one American who initially tested positive for the virus is now medically cleared. Doctors say he likely received a false positive.
>> I'm fairly confident that he never had haunt virus. That doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't have an exposure, but at this point, it doesn't appear that he had the disease during his cruise.
>> Scientists plan to head to a city in Argentina next week. They suspect that may be ground zero for the outbreak.
Governor Gavin Newsome proposed a $350 billion budget. The revised plan avoids major cuts and includes no deficit.
State revenues are up more than $16 billion. That money is driven mostly by a booming stock market and the AI industry. The governor and state lawmakers will now negotiate those details. They have to pass a final spending plan by the end of June. And here in San Diego, Mayor Todd Gloria released this statement on the budget proposal from Newsome pushing for continued support on homelessness. It reads in part, "As budget negotiations continue in Sacramento, I'll keep working alongside mayors throughout the state to advocate for the long-term $1 billion annual investment needed to maintain this momentum so cities can continue helping people move off the streets and into housing."
>> Three, two, one.
At >> the start of a new beginning in Oak Park, city leaders and community members broke ground on construction for the neighborhood's new library Thursday.
This is going to replace the existing branch, which was built in 1969. The new twostory library is expected to be four times bigger than the existing location, and that extra space means more room for programs and services. Officials say it's a gamecher for the next generation.
We know that libraries are more than infrastructure that house books. They are spaces of possibility. It's where the a child's trajectory of their life can change. And so that's what we're building out bigger and better right here on this land.
>> Now, construction is expected to be complete in spring of 2028. I do love a good library. That's your ABC10 News streamline. Everything you know to need to know today in under 10
