Assistance League of Long Beach is a nonprofit corporation whose purpose is to create a community of volunteers to identify and deliver philanthropic services.
Assistance League was formed in 1935 and is now comprised of more than 100 chapters nationwide. It is a nonprofit corporation whose volunteer members administer and staff philanthropic programs that serve specific needs of local communities. Assistance League of Long Beach, a chapter of Assistance League, was chartered in 1940. With over 900 members, Assistance League of Long Beach is the largest chapter of Assistance League. Chapter has four auxiliaries: Rick Rackers, Las Hermanas, CAMEO, and Assisteens®. Last year, members donated more than 40,000 hours of service to touch the lives of thousands of men, women and children of Long Beach. This year, Assistance League of Long Beach will provide braces for 400 children at our Orthodontic Center and school uniforms for nearly 3,000 children through our Operation School Bell®. We will also award scholarships to students at California State University, Long Beach and Long Beach City College. Other projects include ALa Carte, crafts for children at Miller Children’s Hospital; Kids on the Block™, troops of puppeteers performing for children and seniors; Assault Survivor Kits®, working with Community Hospital; and Howard Collection, a museum quality collection of Asian artifacts. All of our projects are supported by member service hours and funds raised from our Assistance League Thrift & Vintage Shop, community fundraisers, grants, and donations. Proceeds from fundraising are returned to our community. To find out more about our programs and membership, call Assistance League of Long Beach at (562) 627-5650.
