The partial government shutdown has thousands of federal workers in Florida living without a paycheck right now. Without money coming in the bank, many of them are faced with a difficult decision: feed themselves or their pets. The Humane Society of Tampa Bay is making sure that no federal worker has to make that call.
The shelter is giving away free pet food to qualified federal workers. The Humane Society says the food assistance program for federal workers helps in more ways than one.
Federal workers would need to provide proof before taking home food for their cats and dogs. Also, keep in mind that the food assistance program is able to help others through donations.

They have to provide proof!
