Help

We have eight wonderful programs that need your help. Getting involved in our programs and the community is very uplifting.

 “It has been a joy for me to be involved in so many of these programs, from THRIFT HOUSE to OSB to Fresh Start. At the end of the day, I love seeing people smile.”

–Pam Ingalls, member

“I have met so many truly smart, kind, like-minded friends during my eight years with Assistance League. While we are giving back to the community, we also are forging ties to a community that provides us support and love no matter what life throws our way. I treasure the people I have found through ALA!”
