Kraft Heinz Food Company is the latest to step up and help furloughed federal workers during the partial government shutdown. Head to the D.C. pop-up Kraft grocery store to get a FREE bag of groceries, on them.

From the folks who bring us everyone's favorite blue box, here's a little bit of help during the partial federal government shutdown.

It's simple; show up with your federal government I.D. badge and walk out with a bag of Kraft groceries, including macaroni and cheese, Kraft natural cheeses, various condiments, and other Kraft Heinz products. The only caveat is that you may be asked if you would like your picture posted in posts about the "Kraft Now. Pay Later." program.
