I have been a member for one year. This group is incredible - I can't even begin to list all the things they do for children, for women, for families. Their Operation School Bell clothes hundreds of needy kids every fall. They operate a wonderful tutoring program at a nearby school. They provide kits of clothing and other necessities to many local hospitals to give to victims of sexual abuse. They operate a Buddy Bear program. The list goes on and on. This is an all volunteer group and they welcome anyone in the Detroit area who wants to help. Members are friendly and welcoming to newcomers and new members are encouraged to help in whatever way is most comfortable for them. I have never been in a group that works so hard and does so much!

I just joined Assistance League in the spring and I could not be more impressed by this volunteer group. They do incredible things for children and women with their Operation School Bell which gives clothes and school supplies to needy children, with their Wee kits which gives layettes to new moms in need of them, with one-to-one tutoring in schools and these are only three of the programs. What I really like is the way they involve new people by letting them just right into working with any group that seems to be the right fit. They train new volunteers and make them feel very comfortable and a necessary part of the group right from the start. I am so glad I found the Assistance League as a volunteer! Marilyn
