Overview
- The garrison’s shutdown guidance page briefly listed German support options, then deleted the section the same day.
- Archived snapshots and Reddit posts document the prior listing, which named Tafel Deutschland, Foodsharing e.V., Essen für Alle, and the Too Good To Go app.
- Garrison officials did not respond to requests for comment, and it remains unclear whether U.S. personnel qualify for those services.
- American-run help continues on base, including Bavaria Community and Spouses’ Club food pantries and a no-questions-asked donation and pickup program at Grafenwoehr Elementary School.
- The development comes on day 36 of the federal shutdown as many civilian employees remain unpaid, while Germany has pledged support for its local national workers at U.S. facilities.
