<div>Dear fellow Ridgecrest families,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My heart aches for the<strong> 25% of Ridgecrest Elementary families who are losing their SNAP benefits as of today </strong>due to the ongoing government shut down and are uncertain how to feed their families this month. Despite the federal ruling that the administration needs to use their reserve funds, programs are actively being shut down. I work for a non-profit that enrolls families in SNAP, and we received a notice to stop work last night. <strong>Ms. V, the family advocate at Ridgecrest, is accepting grocery gift cards in $25 increments.</strong> Our family will be purchasing a stack of gift cards. You can join us by contributing to this fund. I will purchase and deliver them on your behalf.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping to support our community! Please help spread the word.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Your transfer plan to get the funds from your GoFundMe to the intended recipient(s): I am transferring the funds to my personal account and using this to purchase gift cards in $25 increments from Safeway and QFC. I will give the cards to Ms. V at Ridgecrest who will give them to families in need. I am happy to provide receipts if needed.

<div>How the funds will be spent: see above.
