With the overnight announcement of the 2025 Government Shutdown, you may be trying to navigate what this time may look like for you. The Commissary and Exchanges don’t want to add more stress to this situation, so they are open and ready to serve you through this challenging time.

We know that military life comes with plenty of challenges – but putting food on the table or picking up everyday essentials shouldn’t be one of them.

Here’s what you can count on, even during a shutdown:

 Commissaries remain open worldwide.
 Military families continue to save on groceries & essentials.
 Exchanges are also open to serve you and your family.

So, whether you need to stock up or just grab the basics, you can head to your Commissary or Exchange and shop with confidence!

If you find yourself in financial strain due to the shutdown, please reach out to your financial institution, your branch specific relief society, your Unit leadership, and/or your Military & Family Readiness Center for additional resources.

This won’t last forever, and you will get through this, but know that we are here to support you throughout the process. We’re here to keep life a little simpler for military families — today and everyday.

On behalf of the teams behind the Military Pet Club, Military Cat Club, and PCS with Pets, we want to thank you for your continued service. We appreciate you each and every day and know that we will get through this together
