David Perry & Associates, Inc. is honored to represent the esteemed Greater Palm Springs nonprofit AAP-Food Samaritans: in 2026 celebrating 35 years of service to those living with AIDS / HIV and other chronic life altering conditions. 

Founded in 1991 as AIDS Assistance Program with the goal of helping the most at-risk members of the Greater Palm Springs community, the organization has since expanded its services to include people suffering from cancer, MS, heart or liver disease, and other chronic illnesses. 

Its ongoing mission is to ensure that all AAP – Food Samaritans clients can continue to live their lives with dignity and self-respect.  Since its inception, AAP has distributed more than $13 million in direct client service to more than 2,750 clients. AAP clients get by on an annual income of less than $18,735, and most of our clients rarely, if ever, make it off of the client list.

Living with a chronic illness is not easy.  HIV/AIDS continues to be a major health challenge in the Coachella Valley and across the world. Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, heart and liver disease all present similar challenges to those that must live with these devastating conditions. AAP – Food Samaritans is there to provide comfort and support and improve the quality of life for those who need it the most.
