GREENSBORO, N.C. — The folks at 1618 Downtown in Downtown Greensboro are doing what they can to help out workers affected by the Federal Government shutdown.
They posted on Facebook telling Triad workers if you're affected by the shutdown, they'll feed you dinner on them.
All you have to do is show a Government ID or Government pay stub, and the menu is open to you free of charge.
The owners of 1618 Downtown say we are all one community, and if roles were reversed, they hope their customers would show the same support.

“If we’re in hard times, we would hope that our customers might come in a couple extra times and when our customers are having a hard time we just want to be there to help them as well,” said Nick Wilson, co-owner of 1618 Downtown.
Wilson also said it's more of an honor system, pay what you can kind of deal.
If you want to bring your kids and want to pay for them, feel free. If not, that's okay too. Wilson said he wants people to know their work is appreciated.
“We just hope that they realize they are part of this community and people are looking out for them,” said Wilson.
We also checked in with the Salvation Army on Tuesday to see how their supplies were holding up. They said they aren't in a dire situation, but it could get that way.
"We're at a point right now where we can help the community for those that are in need but we will go down very quickly so we need the community's help as well to maintain our supply," said Leroy Wilson, the Director of Case Management Services at the Salvation Army Greensboro.
