According to Fox News, Kraft announced on Tuesday that workers who have been furloughed by the government shutdown will be able to pick up unlimited Kraft products absolutely free come Wednesday.
"Called 'Kraft Now Pay Later,' it will allow federal workers to stock up on the company’s staples such its famous mac and cheese mix and other items for free," reports the outlet. "The only caveat is that the Chicago-based food maker wants workers who can to pay it forward by donating to their favorite charity or help someone in need once their back pay comes through."
Sergio Eleuterio, head of marketing for Kraft, said in a statement that the pop-up grocery store will alleviate some of the worry facing federal worker families during the shutdown. "During the government shutdown, parents should not have to worry about putting dinner on the table because they aren’t receiving a paycheck," Eleuterio said. "Kraft stands for families and we want to support the families who have built our brands. This store is one way we can help those affected get the grocery staples they need. And we celebrate all who are doing their part to help."
