Mercury News' front page reported that in the San Francisco area, which has a large Asian population, due to the U.S. federal government shutdown, budget is not available, and elderly services in the area are being cut. The photo shows Jeanie Reyes (left) chatting with a couple who did not want to reveal their names at the Sunnyvale Senior Nutrition Program at the Sunnyvale United Methodist Church on October 9. Meals and social activities provided for the elderly are being reduced.
Under budget constraints in the San Francisco area, community centers find it harder to provide food and services. Some homeless people are also suffering from the consequences of the government shutdown.
