‘Gift Cards Secured’: SNAP Relief Organizer Jeff Knauss Responds to Criticism

Jeff Knauss, organizer of the SNAP Relief fundraiser, responded to questions about transparency in a viral GoFundMe campaign that raised over $200,000. In a Facebook post, Knauss confirmed that 1,000 qualifying families will receive $150 Wegmans gift cards during the SNAP benefits shutdown. Remaining funds will go to Foodlink and the Food Bank of Central New York. Though the fundraiser sparked skepticism, Knauss emphasized accountability and praised the community’s ability to mobilize quickly to support vulnerable residents.
