It’s Friday night Mexican food dinner for the residents at Family Supportive Housing. AL of San Jose volunteers enjoy creating yummy dinners and Family Supportive Housing is so appreciative of this delicious donation.

Our Yard Signs are delivered and looking good around the town. We still have a few left, email us at info@alsj.org if your yard is calling out to be a part of the display while supporting Assistance League of San Jose.

The members of AL of San Jose are well aware of how many hours of love our Caring Hands volunteers put into their special homemade baby blankets, but we were delighted to learn how much one baby loved her blanket. Veronica emailed us to tell us how much her daughter loved the blanket she received at Valley Medical Center […]

Eighty one toiletry kits were created by 18 of our dedicated members in January. These essential supplies were delivered to CityTeam on February 4th along with four of Karen T’s special handmade quilts. AL of San Jose is proud to partner with CityTeam in their efforts to help the displaced and vulnerable populations in our community.

Some of our members are taking advantage of the pandemic “lockdown” to express their creativity and let those “creative juices” flow! Here are three pictures of layettes that were donated to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center this month compliments of Lynda S. Lynda has been experimenting how to jazz up the hats to make the […]

AL of San Jose’s partnership with Barnes and Noble started 10 years ago when Jerri, a retired public school principal, approached Barnes & Noble (B&N) about the possibility of their donating books to the “Make a Difference Day”, National’s project of having every AL chapter obtain books for children. B&N agreed to take part in […]

The pandemic has been hard on everyone this year even more challenging for the moms and kids living in community shelters and treatment centers during the holidays.

Our modified Readers Are Leaders program is in full swing. The Ryan School readers are preparing bags for another student book distribution. The school was excited to receive this donation. We miss reading them in person but look forward to reinstating the onsite program in the future.

Sweet treats were distributed to members who donated onesies at our annual Baby Shower. Although we missed the Baby Shower party this year, members contributed over 1300 onesies at our Drive-thru Baby Shower event. This is just one of several shining examples of how dedicated our membership is to our community programs even during these […]

Each year AL of San Jose hosts a Baby Shower event to replenish the onesies our Caring Hands program volunteers pair with their homemade blankets and caps. These layettes are then donated to Valley Medical Center’s newborn unit. This event, usually a festive party, was modified to a drive up collection this year, but it […]

Approximately 185 layettes were created by Caring Hands volunteers during the month of December and delivered to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Even with an erratic holiday schedule, members continued to produce beautiful blankets and hats for the new moms and their babies.
