Ruth has shown a strong committment to social justice and GAAP's clients with her past work in the Tenderloin community. As a lawyer, and supervisor of GAAP's volunteers, she will continue to advocate for client needs. Additionally, her extensive experience in development will enable GAAP to achieve long-term financial stability.

25 Years!
December 4, 2009
This year GAAP is celebrating 25 years of providing its essential services to those who are most in need. Since 1985, volunteers, including local community members, law students, and college students, have advocated on behalf of GAAP clients and, as a result, provided countless disabled, homeless, and marginally housed individuals with public benefits to which they are entitled.
GAAP is proud to announce the launch of its new website. The new GAAP website shares more information about GAAP's services, supporters, and clients. We hope this site will allow GAAP to stay in better contact with donors and volunteers. Check back regularly on the News & Events page for updates about GAAP events and news. Please let us know if you have comments or feedback by contacting Gary Lewis.
Annual GAAP Raffle
April, 2010
Join us at GAAP’s annual raffle at the Temple Bar & Bistro in April 2010. There will be hundreds of great prizes, including tickets to sporting events, gift certificates to local restaurants and other surprise items.
Raffle tickets are only $1 each and help support GAAP’s mission. Because the average cost of helping each one of our clients is $4, purchasing just four tickets means one additional GAAP client receives supportive services and advocacy. Contact Ruth Isaacson to purchase tickets or donate prizes.
Get involved by volunteering with GAAP today. GAAP’s volunteer program offers a unique opportunity for students and community members to make a difference.
GAAP relies on the generosity and strength of our volunteers to staff the drop-in clinic and provide the majority of our essential services. Volunteers are encouraged to commit to three hours per week at the clinic, open every day, except Wednesdays, from 9am-12pm, and 1:30pm-4pm.
