ROANOKE, Va. – Tuesday marks day 46 of the partial government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history.
As Transportation Security Administration workers continue to work without pay, a local food distributor is stepping in to help.
Star Valley Provisions hosted a complimentary luncheon for TSA agents at the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport today. The event was held to show support and appreciation for employees going without pay.
Chris Zayas, owner of Star Valley Provisions, said, “We saw a need to support our community, the TSA members here. Some of them are going without pay. Being a local business owner, we wanted to feed them lunch.”
