Assistance League of Fullerton is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization and one of  the 120 chapters of National Assistance League.  We were founded as a guild in 1940. The Fullerton chapter was chartered in 1950. The members of Assistance League of Fullerton are guided by a set of core values: Love of Community, Friendship, Respect, Generosity, Dignity and Service.

Assistance League of Fullerton currently has over 260 member volunteers working to make the North Orange County, California  communities of Fullerton, Brea, Buena Park, La Habra, Placentia and Yorba Linda a better place to live and work through our programs.  Assistance League of Fullerton supports community-based philanthropic programs benefiting everyone from infants to adults. We encourage you to learn more about our chapter and the many ways you can become involved and make a difference.

The Thrift Shop in Fullerton is our main source of funding.  The shop is staffed and managed entirely by our member volunteers.  Donations are always welcome and are tax deductible.
