Assistance League of Seattle began in 1962 as the 31st chapter of National Assistance League\u00ae. Founded in 1919 as Assistance League of Southern California and incorporated as National Assistance League in 1935, there are currently 120 chapters throughout the United States.<\/p>\n

Each chapter develops philanthropic programs to meet the needs of their local community. So, while we benefit from the full strength of our national organization, our funds are raised and spent locally to meet the growing needs of our community here in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n
