Once again, we are honored that Nabil Najjar of the Desert Tennis Association and Tournament Director of the Palm Springs Open is supporting AAP - Food Samaritans with their annual event. AAP has been the designated beneficiary of this tournament since 2005, and we are extremely grateful for their ongoing support. This type of continued sponsorship directly funds our food voucher program, which helps the Valley’s most needful residents who struggle to maintain their strength and well-being.

I want to remind you all that AAP - Food Samaritans is accepting new clients and turning to the community to ask for help in spreading the word to potential new clients. If you know of someone who fits these guidelines, please urge them to contact us to see if they qualify for our nutritional support program.

 

Thank you for all that you do for AAP – Food Samaritans. Your continuing support of our programs means so much to us.
