TGI Fridays is offering free meals for TSA and air traffic control workers from October 9 through October 23. This is to help people affected by the government shutdown. They can receive one free meal per day from a specially curated menu, which includes Cheeseburger with fries, Chicken Fingers with fries, Crispy or Grilled Chicken Sandwich with fries, or Chicken Caesar Salad.
Eligible workers will need to present valid employee ID at any of their traditional 80+ locations. This should also be valid airport locations(!), but here's their store locator page if you want to call ahead and make sure your nearest spot is participating. The only noted exception I found was the Atlanta airport locations, which are running an independent offer for TSA employees.
If the government shutdown is lifted before October 23, then the offer will end early.
