GAP Ministries has been serving those in need within the Tucson community since 1999. Just as the northside nonprofit is preparing for a significant facility upgrade, it was hit with major monsoon storm damage in mid-July. While GAP Ministries continues to recover, KGUN 9 is supporting its mission with our August Giving Project. 'What we're doing right now is repairing these two main structures,' Development Director Tiane Kennedy said of the damage, two days after the storm.
'Fast-forward to several weeks after the storm, GAP Ministries continues to serve Tucsonans through its Community Warehouse, distributing millions of pounds of food and produce each year—and through its kitchen—preparing 100,000 meals each year for those in need.Now, as GAP Ministries approaches its 25th anniversary, they're starting a project this month to expand their kitchen.'We believe we're going to be able to triple our capacity, at least, at a minimum,' said Ayers.
