It’s the final push for our August Giving Project nonprofit GAP Ministries : Construction continues on their kitchen, and once completed that upgrade is expected to more than double their capacity to serve meals to Tucsonans in need.
But GAP Ministries needs your help funding the new much-needed kitchen. Board Member Demetrius Miles knows the impact the organization has had on the Tucson community over the last 25 years.
“We’re touching so many different elements of the community, but we’re touching the citizens, we’re touching the people that are most hurting,” Miles said.
And it’s through the kitchen that northside-based GAP Ministries touches most of those individuals. Tom Bell is the principal at Southern Arizona Community Academy, a tuition-free charter school near Grant and Tucson.
“They’ve been a blessing for us because they provide snacks and take-home meals for a lot of our kids and their families,” said Bell.
GAP Ministries distributes those meals and snacks to Tucson students and families during summer programs and throughout the school year.
