Overview
- The Wayne County Airport Authority began the Federal Employee Meal Program on Oct. 20 for staff working at Detroit Metro Airport and Willow Run.
- Eligible TSA, FAA and CBP employees can receive up to $20 per day in free food and beverages.
- Purchases are available at participating concessions in the Evans and McNamara terminals.
- The effort is a partnership between the airport authority and on-site restaurants and retailers and is scheduled through Dec. 31, 2025 unless the shutdown ends sooner.
- CEO Chad Newton thanked unpaid federal partners and called the meals a small token of appreciation, noting a similar initiative ran in 2019.
