BOSTON, MA - JANUARY 8: Coast Guardsmen walk near a truck delivering food supplies to the Coast Guard Base in Boston's North End on Jan. 8, 2019. At the base, the partial government shutdown has become more than a long list of impersonal numbers recited in the news media of the furloughed and unpaid, and those in danger of losing benefits. It now is a case, for some members of the worlds most powerful military, of searching for ways to feed their families. On Wednesday, a food pantry stocked by civilians will open on the base to provide free food to Coast Guard members - many with young children - who live paycheck to paycheck and fear they will soon go without pay as the shutdown drags on. Cox is the president of the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation, which will operate the pantry. (Photo by John Tlumacki/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
