Carl’s Jr. Offers $1 Meals to Support Families During Government Shutdown
Right now, in Southern California, Carl’s Jr. is stepping up in a big way for families feeling the pinch of the ongoing federal government shutdown. A special $1 meal deal has been rolled out at select locations across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties, aiming to help federal employees, military families, and SNAP or EBT recipients who might be struggling during this uncertain time.
The deal itself is simple but thoughtful: for just a dollar, you can get a kids hamburger, a small fry, and a kids drink. No complicated sign-ups, no hoops to jump through—just show a valid federal employee ID, military ID, or SNAP/EBT card at the counter or drive-thru, and you’re good to go. This initiative is being led by Akash Management LLC, a local Carl’s Jr. franchise group that owns and operates restaurants throughout Southern California.

Amir Siddiqi, the CEO and owner of Akash Management, has emphasized that this effort comes straight from the heart. “Our commitment has always been to the neighborhoods we serve,” he said. “We live here. We work here. We raise our families here. When our community is under stress, we feel it too. A warm meal at a fair price can offer a moment of comfort during uncertain times, and we believe that matters.” He added that being a good neighbor means stepping forward, especially when the community is facing challenges. The company is focused on making it as easy, comfortable, and respectful as possible for people to access a hot meal.
This effort comes at a crucial time. With Congress unable to resolve the budget standoff, about 1.4 million federal employees are either on unpaid leave or working without pay. Meanwhile, SNAP benefits, which help millions of Americans put food on the table, are partially funded, leaving many families uncertain about how much assistance they will receive this month.
The $1 meal deal is meant to provide immediate, tangible relief to those affected, offering a small but meaningful way to ease some of the stress caused by financial strain. Participating Carl’s Jr. locations are scattered across Southern California, from Agoura Hills and Compton to Irvine and Santa Clarita, ensuring that a wide range of communities can benefit.
For families and individuals impacted by the shutdown, this initiative is more than just a discounted meal—it’s a reminder that local businesses can play an important role in supporting their communities during tough times. While the government shutdown continues, Carl’s Jr. is making sure that a hot, affordable meal is never out of reach for those who need it most.
