The Neighborkind Collective, a network of churches including The Kingstowne Communion and Franconia UMC, and Chalkboard Wings & BBQ are collaborating throughout the shutdown to provide a FREE meal on Tuesdays from 12-8pm (dine-in or carry out!) as a way to offer support and care to all those affected by the government shutdown.

Chalkboard will be discounting the cost of a set menu of meals to just $5, and then the Neighborkind Collective will pick up the tab.

All donations on our Feed the Furloughed fundraiser will go straight toward covering the cost of the FREE meals for all those affected by the shutdown. It costs the Neighborkind Collective $5 per meal; therefore, a suggested donation of $20 covers the cost of dinner for a family of 4.

We'll cover the cost of one meal per person for:

- furloughed government workers

- families of furloughed

- those working without pay

- those in fear of layoff

- or those otherwise affected by the current government shutdown

Questions about our Feed the Furloughed event(s) or inquiries about how to sponsor a meal can be directed to neighborkindcollective@gmail.com or sent by direct message to our sponsors.

We welcome your support! Let’s make this a community effort! We know this is a tough time, and we wish for this meal to be just a small gesture of care and support. You are loved and remembered. Share with your friends! All are welcome!
