Union members in Washington, D.C. have set up a food pantry to help those affected by the ongoing government shutdown, which has now lasted more than 30 days. With federal SNAP funding running out, they are distributing canned goods and collecting donations for local food banks. These efforts aim to support laid-off federal workers, including some who are members of IAM Union and NFFE-IAM.
