🏛️ Government
Troops at Offutt Air Force Base are getting extra help during the government shutdown by using the Airman's Attic, which provides free food, household items, and diapers—this support is needed as some troops did not get paid today.
The Sarpy Chamber and Hy-Vee will hold drives for baby supplies and food until Nov.3 and from Oct.31 to Nov.2 respectively.
Military families at Offutt Air Force Base have faced food hardships during the government shutdown as civilian workers remained unpaid, prompting many to seek help.
Community groups, including the Airmen’s Attic — a vital donation center — continue to support these families amid ongoing financial and emotional challenges.
