From Mobile-As the government shutdown enters into another day, families affected are working hard just to stay above water.
That's where churches and food pantries are stepping in to lend a helping hand.
Church of the Redeemer’s weekly community dinner is now a spot Kasey Cummings and her family can get a meal while her husband who works for the Coast Guard is not getting paid.
"You have to eat and we're fortunate enough to have this community and church be able to do that," Cummings said.
Cummings brought her two children and invited other Coast Guard families to stop by for dinner.
"We did just miss our first pay check," she said. "So, if you think about it, what do you normally buy with your pay check? Groceries and gas and things to get by on and some people just don't have that anymore."
