LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A Lincoln restaurant is stepping up to help people impacted by the government shutdown.

Muchachos, located near 11th and L streets, is opening the “Muchachos Lil Pantry,” the restaurant announced in a social media post on Wednesday.

The restaurant said its merch shelf will now be used for bread, canned goods and non-perishable items.

“Take what you need,” Muchachos wrote. “If you can, please bring some items with you to fill our ‘pantry.’ If you do, there’s a free street taco in it for you!”

Muchachos is also offering “SNAPADILLAS,” a free quesadilla with either pork or chicken that also comes with a soda.

“No payment needed. No judgment. Just happy and full bellies,” the restaurant said.

The restaurant’s two new initiatives begin “immediately.”
