I am a wheelchair-bound senior citizen in Moreno Valley/Perris, and I rely heavily on the generosity of community initiatives like Shop 4 Cause, located in Suite M of the shopping mall at 16420 Perris Blvd. Shop 4 Cause has been a vital resource for me and many other seniors and disabled residents. Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I could count on them for nutritious meals and a sense of dignity and community.

Unfortunately, distribution activities have been halted due to false claims spread by the owner of Mo Val Pure Water in Suite L. It is alleged that these unsubstantiated accusations have led the City of Moreno Valley to pause Shop 4 Cause's operations, depriving us of essential support. This issue not only affects my well-being but also impacts the lives of numerous low-income families, senior citizens, and disabled individuals who depend on Shop 4 Cause to meet their daily needs.

Community assistance initiatives, like Shop 4 Cause, are the backbone of our society, especially for those who are not always able to fend for themselves. We need the City of Moreno Valley to reassess the situation and allow Shop 4 Cause to resume its noble work. Invalidating false claims and reinstating their ability to distribute free food will greatly benefit hundreds of local residents who rely on their services to thrive.

I urge the City of Moreno Valley to take immediate action, investigate the claims thoroughly, and retract any measures that obstruct Shop 4 Cause from conducting its community-focused mission. Let's come together and stand for justice, ensuring that no senior or disabled person goes hungry due to baseless allegations.

Please sign this petition to support the reopening of Shop 4 Cause's food distribution program. Together, we can restore hope and sustenance to those who need it most.
