Locally

Volunteers committed to identifying unmet community needs for at-risk populations and addressing them through philanthropic programs developed and administered by our members are the heart of Assistance League of Los Gatos-Saratoga. We are a 501(c)(3) philanthropic nonprofit, nonpolitical, nonsectarian, all-volunteer organization. The money for our programs is generated from grants, donations and special events.

Every year 110 volunteers support children’s literacy, provide warm coats and new shoes, give scholarships to science camps, and give new dictionaries to the most at-risk students in our area. New moms and their babies are assisted with diapers and a wide assortment of other baby needs, and seniors receive hot lunches and warm friends. Volunteers donate nearly 12,000 hours to improve lives in our area each year. Learn more>

Nationally

The 22,000 member volunteers are what make national Assistance League so remarkable. Each one is incredibly generous and imaginative. Each one is highly motivated to effect change in their communities because they have a personal stake in the outcome. And, each one has the spirit to get the job done, whatever it is and whatever it takes.

Unlike most national charities, our focus is on local chapter needs first. Assistance League actually helps our volunteers realize their vision for their communities and all funds they raise stay in those individual communities. So their dreams become our dreams. So together, across 120 linked chapters, we help people in need achieve a better quality of life. Learn more>
