Each week volunteer members bring donuts and serve coffee to the residents of River Oaks and CHRISTUS St. Joseph Village adult assisted living centers. Members visit with the residents and entertain them with crossword puzzles.
It is so rewarding for our members and the residents that we have continued meeting during the summer.
Each year the Assistance League of Coppell offers a $1000 scholarship to a graduating senior.
In keeping with the mission of Assistance League, this scholarship is offered to a high school student in Coppell who has exhibited excellence in service to the community and beyond. Class rank and grade point averages are not considered for the scholarship award, nor is financial need.
