Capital Area Food Bank announced they are adding some distribution sites across the DMV specifically for displaced federal workers. Federal workers who are struggling with food insecurity during the government shutdown will be able to score a box of shelf-stable items, a box of fresh produce and some protein at a handful of locations starting October 20th until the government re-opens.
Federal employees and contractors will need to show a government work ID to receive food. New food distributions will take place at the following times and locations:
