I drive from Escondido to Temecula to visit this store. They always have lots of goodies to look through. It is well organized and easy to navigate. I really like the ladies who work the check-out - they are very pleasant and fun to talk with. The gentlemen working the back are very helpful and friendly as well. It's a great place to shop.

I have only ever encountered friendly and dedicated volunteers at the Assistance League. They have an excellent variety of items for sale. The items are of good quality. I've purchased a pool table (to refurbish), furniture, drapes and linens, clothing, and kitchen accessories from them. They have a well organized book section. They have toys and items for children. My personal favorite section is the furniture room. I love hunting for linens and pillows, as well as unique furniture. They also have sales, which makes shopping there even more fun! The Assistance League is the only thrift store I visit on a regular basis. And I know that the money they earn goes to a wonderful cause...helping children.
Took my daughter one day to just look around and have some fun. Out of nowhere my daughter screams with joy. She saw fabulous dress for proms and saw her dress. The quality of the gown was fantastic. The assistant there helped her to the dressing room and suggested some shoes and a handbag. all went so well together. The total was under $100. We couldn't believe it. She not only wore the dress to her Scholarship Pageant 3 times in a row but she wore it to prom as well. She loves this silver and gold gown. We continue to go back for many other things and the staff there were so helpful and fun. We would love to thank the Assistance League of Temecula Valley for having such wonderful finds.
I am a teacher at a local school for preschoolers of low income families. Every year, the Assistance League sponsors a Fall Festival which our children and families attend. It is a wonderful affair in which all have a great time and we get to interact together outside of the school. The really supportive and caring act the league provides follows this event. They donate all of the extra pumpkins to the school so each child will be able to claim one for themselves to decorate. There faces light up when they receive the pumpkins and show great pride when they finish their creative work on them. This organization is a prime example of a nonprofit that cares...
The Assistance League has generously supported Birth Choice of Temecula with donations of gently used clothing for the children of clients that come to the Center needing assistance.
They help us supply clothing for children from infants to size 3, which is a great help to our non profit association.
We deeply appreciate their caring, giving and generous hearts to the cause of helping moms and children in need
The store is well managed, clean and the people are very special. Very special means that they are helpful, kind and always willing to assist.
Nothing but great experiences in finding gifts for grandchildren and for ourselves. I like how the items are priced as a product, not priced by individual garment.
My sister, niece and I always meet for the first Friday sale -- we have such a great time together shopping all the wonderful items throughout the store. Even though this is a very popular sale day, and the lines are long, the volunteers are courteous, helpful and friendly. As we leave with bulging shopping bags we look forward to the next first Friday sale. We have too much fun to ever miss it.
Assistance League has given me a purpose to wake up in the morning. I have made good friends and together we have helped give back to our community. We have fun while contributing to a worth while cause.
The Assitance league is the best, all the merchandise is displayed well, its clean and neat. The book section is is order by Author and by material. Wonderful for readers. They have a boutique area for nicer clothers and shoes and purses even dresses for your girls to wear to parties. Plus, and to us one of the most important parts, its easy to donate. They are open to accept donations most of the normal business hours. The volunteers are all very nice and helpful, thank you, for your donationa and ask you to come again because they appreciate you and your donations. They also have special sales everyweek, and once a month they have a 50% off sale. Its truly a great, well run and special place.
I have great experience every time I go into Assistance League of Temecula Valley. The Ladies that volunteer there are friendly and willing to help you with any questions you have. The Assistance League Prices are reasonably-priced . This is my favorite thrift store.
Just moved to Temecula a few months ago and was talking to someone about volunteering. He mentioned how the Assistance League of Temecula Valley did so much with kids. The more I found out the more I liked. This organization does so much....clothe over 2100 low income kids for new school clothes, supports military families, educate teens on financial literacy, award teacher grants to buy school supplies, college scholarships to local seniors, etc. Mostly financed through their thriftshop and vast array of volunteers. Great organization
I am proud to say that I have been involved with the ALTV since first learning about them in 2010. This truly is an amazing group of people that are so giving of themselves for the good of others. All of the money raised by the sales in there huge thrift store goes right back into our local community helping kids in need. Because I have seen the good they do first hand, this is the only place I take my donations to. If you have not yet visited this thrift store or met any of these very special people, I highly suggest you do. You too will be an ALTV fan for life.
We have supported the amazing efforts for the kids and our communities by the Assistance League of Temecula Valley for many years. We have nothing but admiration for the passionate efforts of all of their members. Their organization is well run. We love watching them flourish and help more people !!
The Assistance League of Temecula is a fantastic organization. They have assisted our foster family agency with donations of brand new clothing, toys, baby items and more for the children and families that we serve. They also have provided our foster children with tickets to local amusement parks, water parks, and other fun activities. They really care about foster children and are always willing to go the extra mile to help the community.
The Assistance League of Temecula has been an incredible supporter of our agency and our foster youth! From clothing, to college financial Assistance, holiday gifts, supporters of our summer activities, to letting us use their facility for meetings. They are great!
Valley News is the local newspaper serving the Southwest Riverside County and we have witnessed first-hand the impact of the services and products provided by Assistance League of Temecula Valley. They have literally touched the lives of tens of thousands.
The non-profit is staffed by all volunteers and has been serving local communities for over twenty-six years; they currently serve six communities with their nine programs. Their thrift shop, a converted bowling alley, is their main source of revenue (along with donations). Donors -- large and small alike -- are impressed with the high rate of return to the community and often maintain ongoing giving relationships. John Hine Mazda and Subaru in Temecula is just one of their major supporters.
Their programs include Operation School Bell (in partnership with local department stores) which clothes thousands of kids for school; Operation Bear Hugs which provides thousands of teddy bears to local hospitals and emergency rooms; Operation SHADES which provides financial literacy classes and resources; Operation Foster Youth which provides resources, activities and other opportunities for foster youth and their families.
Assistance League of Temecula Valley provides grants for teachers and scholarships for students. Last year this totaled almost $50,000.
The non-profit organization also partners with seven other AL chapters in Chapters for Children, providing for low-income military kids. They also provide resources/services and meeting spaces for other non-profits, partnering with them to meet community needs. Their Community Outreach program provides one-time emergency funds to assist those with house fires and accidents.
This is a fiscally-responsible and community-involved non-profit that has been faithfully serving community needs through volunteers for decades.
We have enjoyed a great working relationship with them throughout many of those years and have thoroughly enjoyed sharing their success stories with our tens of thousands of community readers.

It's so nice to have the Assistance League as part of our community. Their shop in Temecula is always well organized and very clean. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. I enjoy hunting for unique treasures and the best part is that the money goes to help children. That's a double bonus! They also have many fun events to help raise more funds during the year.
The Assistance League of Temecula Valley is an amazing non-profit that does a lot to help school children in many different facets, from scholarships to clothing. The organization is entirely volunteer driven and they generate most of the revenue through their thrift shop to be able to fund all of their various gifting events.
We are so fortunate to have the Assistance League of Temecula Valley serving Menifee and our local communities. I have been a volunteer, donor, shopper and supporter of them for the past few years. I love knowing that all the donations I bring to their Thrift Shop, and the shopping I do there, goes back out into the community. They are a great group; dedicated, smart, enterprising and caring. If you have checked them out, you should!
