When times get tough, a good neighbor shows up. And this time, it’s Carl’s Jr. stepping up with a $1 meal deal for families hit hardest by the ongoing federal government shutdown.

Starting November 1, select Carl’s Jr. locations across Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire will be offering a Kids Hamburger, Small Fry, and Kids Drink for just one dollar to federal government employees, military families, and SNAP or EBT recipients.

The effort is led by Akash Management LLC, a local Carl’s Jr. franchise group that owns and operates restaurants throughout Southern California.

“Our commitment has always been to the neighborhoods we serve,” said Amir Siddiqi, Owner and CEO of Akash Management. “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.”

No 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 get the $1 meal. The offer will last as long as the government shutdown continues, while supplies last.

“In moments like this, being a good neighbor means stepping forward,” Siddiqi added. “Our job is to feed our community, so we’re making it as easy, comfortable, and respectful as possible for our neighbors to get a hot meal.”

A list of participating locations will be available online as more restaurants join the effort.
