I love October, because this is the month in which we welcome back to the desert everyone who takes vacation or has a second home elsewhere, and the season of giving and philanthropy begins.

 

With that, we encourage you and your friends to please attend our annual Jeannette Rockefeller Angel Program Kickoff Celebration. It will take place on Sunday, October 13 and will be held at a luxurious Palm Springs location (address will be provided upon RSVP). This elegant event begins our 2019-2020 season and provides you with the opportunity to renew your Angel Program support. You may also renew today. Call our office at 760-325-8481 or click here.

 

Also coming up in October is The Desert Sun's 'Best of the Valley' poll, where readers are asked to vote for Best Charity and Best Fundraising Event. You will hear from us when voting is open (Oct. 21 through 30) with a gentle reminder to please vote for us and for our Evening Under the Stars gala. It's not about ego, but rather the recognition that such a title would bring to our ongoing commitment to our mission, encouraging others to support us.

As always, thank you for all you do to support AAP – Food Samaritans.
