Board Members Recruitment

Winter Clothes Donation
Have extra winter clothes that are taking up space in your closet? Make room for the new fall trends and donate your gently used items to NAAP in person or through the Giving Effect (http://naap-ca.thegivingeffect.com/). NAAP is specifically looking for and only has the capacity to retain outerwear, rainwear and under garments to help our homeless clients stay dry and warm through San Francisco’s cold and rainy winter. NAAP politely requests that all donations be in good clean condition and that underwear and socks be new. Although we appreciate all clothing donations, all other clothing types can be donated in the name of NAAP to Community Thrift (http://www.communitythriftsf.org/).
Donate to NAAP
Don’t have any new clothes but want to give back? No problem! Make a financial contribution to NAAP through the Network for Good. Check with your employer before you make a donation and see if they will match your donation! All donations are tax deductible, so be sure to get your donations to us before the New Year!
Stay up to date with NAAP and follow us on Facebook!
