Summer has come to the Coachella Valley. As the temperatures rise we sometimes forget about those in dire need of food, shelter, medical care, and even companionship.

 

There are numerous non-profit organizations in the Coachella Valley that work hard all year long to address the needs of those less fortunate. Organizations like Well in the Desert and AAP - Food Samaritans. During the summer months our daily work continues with one significant change from the season: charitable contributions significantly drop. This presents a major challenge for those charities that serve disadvantaged people who live here year-round. Charities like us.

 

We are accepting new clients now. But we can’t do it without the support of the community – people like you. We are grateful to our major supporters who provide a portion of the funding required to operate our Food Voucher Program. Now, more than ever, your support is crucial.

 

One direct way you can lend your support to AAP (and have a great time doing it) is to attend our upcoming Independence Day Celebration on July 4 at the Historic O’Donnell House. Don’t miss this unique and fun-filled way to observe our nation’s birthday while helping to support our food voucher program. We are grateful to Dr. Tracy Conrad and Dr. Paul Marut for allowing us to hold this fundraiser and fireworks viewing party from their amazing venue once again. Buy your tickets HERE

  

As this summer heats up, please donate whatever you can to Well in the Desert, AAP – Food Samaritans, and other Coachella Valley charities that are near and dear to your heart. Your contributions will help to make a difference to those in need.

 

Thank you and stay cool!

Sincerely,

 

Mark Anton, Executive Director
