Assistance League of Inland North County is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit thrift shop in Escondido that puts caring and commitment into action through volunteerism, our thrift shop, and our nine philanthropic programs.
Due to Covid-19 and the availability of resources, we have found it necessary to reduce our thrift shop hours until further notice. We have added more days and hours for November and December, 2022. Please visit our Thrift Shop Page for current shop and donation days and hours. Due to capacity restraints we can only accept donations until the bins are full. Please do not leave donations outside of these hours as we will not be able to process them.
Thank you for your continued support of Assistance League of Inland North County’s non-profit thrift shop in Escondido and cooperation of our guidelines! We look forward to seeing you in the Shop.

OUR CURRENT MASK POLICY
As we continue to monitor CDC guidance and state/local mandates on facial masking requirements, our policy regarding the use of facial masks to prevent the spread of COVID 19 (and its variants) will evolve.
It is highly recommended in respect of others and to recognize public health safety, that persons who enter or work/volunteer in the building or represent ALINC offsite wear a medical-grade facial mask. Persons who are feeling ill or who have been exposed to COVID 19 (or its variants) may not enter the building until they have reached the current recommended waiting period.
