HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!
Hurricane Ian Relief
Happening Now!
Over 1,000 Meals per Daily!
GAP is serving hot meals at The Heights Center in Fort Myers FL to Hurricane survivors. Although we are already feeding over a 1000 meals a day, We need your donations to enable us to stay and serve the growing needs! Thanks too many volunteers and our low cost model of collaborating, our overhead is only $1.50 per meal (disaster non-profits tend to average well over $10/meal), so your donations to GAP will make a meaningful impact!
Ukrainian Refugees Support
Happening Now!
As Ukrainian refugees flee into neighboring countries, GAP is sending aid and grants to our partner organizations through out eastern Europe. If you have goods to give, contact us to get them on the next container shipping over. The situation is very fluid, But GAP is committed to monitoring it and making sure all donations & aid flow toward the organizations best situated to help throughout each stage of the crises.
