Jacksonville’s Morning News continues to follow meaningful impacts of the government shutdown. Many local military families are turning to the community for help. The Mayport Navy League handed out hundreds of meals, and thousands of diapers and baby wipes yesterday.

“There are so many insecurities and concerns, which creates a lot of anxiety among our military families. And so, because of that, doing something like this helps them feel better about their situation. So, it is very important we have events like this. Normally our military Mondays are only one Monday a month, but we had one last Monday and we have another one today and you can see the need. I mean, there is an incredible need for food.”, said Barbara Ives, Vice President, Mayport Navy League.

The Navy League started the distribution event in January.
