[quote=Anonymous]I am a not-yet-furloughed fed, but have a team that is mostly furloughed but still working employees (different funding lines…)
First, feds have a TON of resources.  Most banks are offering no interest loans matching their normal paycheck.  I’ve heard some say they don’t want to impact their credit score… but honestly, it is better to pay bills on time and have a no interest loan than to be late on the bills.  Plus, when it comes time for a major purchase, these loans can be explained – “I was a furloughed federal employee.” I know one employee took a part time job on the weekends.
That said, for this office of mostly furloughed but still working federal employees – the team set up a mini-food bank that those of us that can are donating to.  We did a pot luck last week – with those of us can brought in most of the items and brought in enough for some of the junior employees to take some home.  I am providing them a luncheon next week – deli trays from Giant (sandwich tray, wrap tray, hummus tray, fruit tray, vegetable tray)  - and ordered enough that they will have some to take home.
On top of that, I am dropping off 8 bags of canned food to my local food bank.
