In response to the ongoing 34-day government shutdown, local businesses in Augusta, Georgia, are stepping up to support affected families. Two State Towing and Euchee Creek Veterinary Clinic have joined food pantries and nonprofits in providing free food and supplies to residents facing financial strain and reduced SNAP benefits. Business owner Matthew Thomas of Two State Towing said the effort aims to ease the burden on families struggling with bills and limited income.
