Jacksonville Jaguars offering Coast Guard families a free dinner

Jacksonville, FL — As the partial government shutdown continues with no end in sight, the Jacksonville Jaguars are teaming up with Dick's Wings to offer a free meal to the families impacted by the shutdown.

Active duty U-S Coast Guard members and their families are invited to one of the participating Dick’s Wings locations below Thursday night. The event starts at 5 and runs until 9 p.m. The team is asking the U-S Coast Guard members and their family members to bring a government-issued ID, so they can cover any food and non-alcoholic drinks.
