Mission Statement
To enhance the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities in South Puget Sound by providing opportunities for education, employment, housing, social support, and increased community awareness.
About This Cause
Group Action for Peninsula People (GAPP) relies upon funding from the State of Washington and generous donations of time and money provided by volunteers, individuals, and corporations. GAPP has a long history of serving individuals with developmental disabilities. In fact we have been a 501C3 since the early 90s. Our organization is committed to continued service to those who are among the most vulnerable in our society. Over the years we have acquired four properties. Our homes in Tacoma, Puyallup, and Bainbridge are staffed independently of GAPP. We keep in close contact to insure that the homes are maintained to provide a safe environment for residents and their staffs. GAPP manages the day to day operations and care of the GAPP Adult Family Home residents, and it is where we have our main offices. We are grateful to the dedicated staff members who provide excellent care so our residents can fully enjoy their lives. Our staff has a challenging profession and we are fortunate to have them be a part of our organization. A strong emphasis is placed upon resident choice and healthy living. Residents are involved in Special Olympics sports including bowling, softball, basketball, soccer and swimming. Two residents work four days a week. Attending art classes, sporting and theatrical events including live plays, musicals, and movies as well as monthly dances are among the activities enjoyed by residents.
