My Nonprofit Reviews

Working with an organization that directly helps children and people in need in our community helps fill the need to give back to a community that has provided our livelihood and a great way of life. Assistance League works well for me as a volunteer organization because it raises money, donates the money through services or programs right back into the hands of those who need it.
Operation School Bell allows children identified through their schools as needing help. Each child gets the joy of picking out needed, wanted clothing that makes them fit into their school experience. Love working the nights they shop! VetLift, a newer program of Assistance League, helps Veterans moving into transitional housing by providing household supplies. At a recent Assistance League meeting a Veteran described for us how important it was to know that people in his own community cared enough to do this.
Working at the Thrift Shop preparing donations for sale, creating artful displays, maintaining a retail shop takes many hours per week for all of our members. But the rewards are worth the effort. We help people right where they need it – here, in Eugene.
Another way Assistance League raises money is by writing grants and applying to foundations that seek ways to put their funds in the hands of those who provide programs to help people in need – for example the Children’s Dental Clinic is the recipient of many grants and donations. Great way to help kids! Dentists and Hygienists donate their time and talents. Our volunteers maintain the clinic and make it all happen. Assistance League has many talented and energetic volunteers that love making someone else’s life better.
