Assistance League of Northern Virginia is a chapter of Assistance League, a nonprofit, nonpolitical, nonsectarian national volunteer service organization founded in the early 1890’s, that promotes volunteerism through leadership training and education.
Today over 22,000 Assistance League members in 120 chapters touch the lives of more than 1 million youth and adults every year, contributing more than 3.5 million service hours. Volunteers live in the communities they serve, with all funds raised by community chapters staying in those individual communities. This 100% volunteer-driven organization is bound by a strong central mission to help those in need achieve a better quality of life.
Assistance League of Northern Virginia was organized as a guild in 1999 and chartered as the 113th chapter of Assistance League in 2004. Since 1999, our all-volunteer chapter has contributed more than 204,439 service hours and has donated $836,201 to the community through our philanthropic programs which help to feed, clothe and educate children. During 2018-2019, Assistance League of Northern Virginia members touched the lives of over 8,000 children and together with community volunteers contributed in excess of 16,000 service hours.
