“We have been actively involved with Assistance League® of North Coast since 2009. During that time, we have served in leadership roles in the organization and have given of our time to contribute to the development of a truly philanthropic, all-volunteer organization built on a shared mission to enable all students to attend school with confidence and dignity. The Assistance League® of North Coast will be a part of our legacy in the years to come.”

For over 30 years I have been active in Assistance League® and have seen the tremendous impact its many programs have on the children of our area. The growth of Assistance League®, supported by our thrift shop, grants, the Legacy Giving and generous donations, has allowed us to: clothe children in need, provide books for school libraries, give scholarships to graduating seniors as well as to teachers, and so much more. None of this would happen if it weren’t for our over one hundred volunteers, who give of their time to reach children of all ages. We are entirely a volunteer organization with the desire to help these children reach their full potential. The members of Assistance League® inspire me.
Having served in leadership positions on many of Assistance League’s boards and committees has truly been a privilege. The real reward though is participating in their hands-on programs. I have seen the joy in a young boy’s eyes as he said, “You mean this blanket is for me? Now I can have my very own and won’t have to share with my mom!” Or seeing children’s eyes sparkling as if it were Christmas, as they take home their first, brand new book to keep.
As you can see, I’m proud of all the above, as well as our many other programs. It is definitely in my future plans to continue supporting the Legacy Giving in such a worthwhile cause…investing in the future of the children in our tri-city area.

We have been residents of North County since 1971 and can truly say that the Assistance League® of North Coast is at the top of our list of organizations that make a positive and lasting difference in the lives of the children of Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista. We are proud to invite our neighbors and friends to join us as workers and financial supporters of this all-volunteer organization.

We have been members of Assistance League North®0 Coast for several years, Sondra (2014) and Fred (2017). We have been involved in a multitude of programs and activities; all aimed at benefiting the communities we serve. It has been extremely rewarding! The funny thing is, we have benefited as much as the families we serve, if not more. This rewarding volunteer work and the many good friendships we have made through ALNC has enriched our lives immensely.
When it was time to update our trust, it was an easy decision for us to include ALNC. We were surprised by just how easy it was to make it happen. A friend gave us the name of a trusted estate planning attorney. He answered our questions, gave us some homework, revised our trust and had us review the final documents. It was a piece of cake! There is no time like the present to get your affairs in order. We owe it to ourselves and to our families. Supporting ALNC’s endowment was easy!
Sondra and Fred, constant companions and collaborators, are tireless volunteers for ALNC and have held many Board, Program & Committee positions over the years, and we thank them for their dedication, hard work and their support for the endowment. The asterisk (*) shows Sondra’s specific positions and as you can see Fred held several positions and supported Sondra along the way.
