We didn't treat this shutdown like a vacation. It was an important period to reflect on the needs of people. Food, shelter, and water are necessary components of health, and @27unihted.bsky.social members know that just because you're not on duty, health is always the mission. #NIHStrong #FEDStrong
As many of you know, more than one million federal employees have been furloughed since October 1, 2025. However, we never stop serving the people, near and far. @27unihted.bsky.social has collected 2,000 pounds of food and $20,000 for DC area food banks. #FEDStrong #NIHStrong
