government shutdown

Relief initiatives begin Monday, October 13th

As our elected officials continue to seek a resolution to the current government shutdown, we’re standing alongside our neighbors whose paychecks are on hold. By partnering with local agencies directly, we’ve expanded our capacity to ensure affected employees have access to essential resources, fresh food, and the community connections that matter most in challenging times. We are continuing to monitor the situation and plan accordingly, should the shutdown extend beyond the immediate future.

Access to these services is coordinated through participating employers. Affected employees should contact their HR or agency lead to schedule an appointment with us or call our hotline below.
