The Latest News From the LOS GATOS-SARATOGA Chapter
Celebrating 15 Years of Service
Assistance League of Los Gatos-Saratoga celebrates 15 years of service in our local community this month.
In those 15 years we have served 110,000 individuals, donated 250,000 volunteer hours, and returned $1 Million to the Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, and West San Jose communities.
Our 120 dedicated volunteers work in local schools reading to and tutoring students, distributing dictionaries, providing warm coats and jackets, and giving science camp scholarships. Our two newest school programs help middle school students in their school gardens and provide STEM training to elementary school students through literature and hands-on engineering activities.
Working with the Santa Clara County Public Health Nurses, we provide new moms and their babies who live below the poverty level with diapers, baby bundles, cribs, and other necessities to help them have a better start in life.
We also cook and serve a hot, nutritious lunch for the frail elderly at the Saratoga Adult Day Care Center four days each week as well as manage an Assisteens program for high school students to give back to the community.

Celebrating Rising Young Authors
Almost 16 years ago, Campbell Union School District started a program to recognize the writing skills of students in grades 3-7. Every year, the top two students selected from each school, and from among hundreds of entries, are honored with a Rising Young Author Award. This year’s 14 recipients, and newly published authors, were celebrated for their accomplishments in writing a wide variety of titles.
Almost 120 family and friends attended this event at Barnes & Noble in San Jose to honor the newest group of young writers. As part of the evening, each student received a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble from our chapter to help continue their love of books and the printed word.

Members Gather to Support Nurse Family Partnership
Recently our chapter hosted its annual baby shower luncheon to support new moms and their babies in the Santa Clara County Nurse Family Partnership program. Each attendee brought a gaily bagged gift for a baby boy or girl between 12 and 24 months.
The Nurse Family Partnership (NFP), comprised of eight nurses, provides about 200 low income, young women with an opportunity to get a better start with their little ones. The luncheon featured nurses who work directly with these first-time moms and their babies. They spoke of their personal experiences in providing a host of services during the moms 2 ½ year program with NFP. A graduation ceremony is held to honor these new moms upon completion of their program and to recognize their efforts to improve their life and nurture their now 2 year old child. READ MORE >>
