In these\ndifficult and uncharted times, AAP – Food Samaritans\u2019 focus on supplying\nnutritional support, as it has been for the last 30 years, is of #1 importance\nto us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although\nthese unprecedented times are proving to be a struggle for many, including us,\nwe want you to know we fully intend to continue to address the nutritional\nneeds of all of those who we serve: Low-income people living with chronic\nillnesses. We are currently looking at ways we can partner with other\norganizations to help get food into the homes of those needing it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As many of\nyou know, this time of year we are usually preparing for our annual Evening\nUnder the Stars fundraising gala. However, with the COVID-19 issues all around\nus, we don\u2019t know what the future will hold. We cannot yet make the call on\nwhether we will hold the event on May 2nd or not. Because of this our revenue\nhas come to a complete halt and people have – for the moment – stopped\npurchasing tickets. We get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To continue\nto take care of our clients we need your help. I know that for some of you,\nlike us, your income has dried up almost completely. But if you\u2019re in a\nposition to help, we ask that you please consider making a donation on line\ntoday. Simply click the link below and give as much as your circumstances\nallow. Remember, our clients could be any one of us at some point in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To all of\nthose who know AAP \u2013 Food Samaritans, you know that we have never believed in a\nhard-core push for donations and have always felt that \u201cif the cause resonates,\nfolks will donate.\u201d Right now, we need you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a\nvery trying time for small grass-roots charities like ours and our survival\ndepends on donations, all of which will be used to only supply food to our\ncommunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On behalf of\neveryone at AAP, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
