My Nonprofit Reviews

Assistance League of Eugene is a volunteer driven non-profit organization. Our seven philanthropic programs provide library materials to shut-ins; new school clothing for over 1700 school children (fall 2012); Oregon History tours and "road shows" for students and seniors; friendship and music at local residential care facilities; household products for families moving into transitional housing; teddy bears for children in traumatic situations; and free dental care for students in six local school districts.

We raise the majority of the money needed to fund our programs through sales of donated merchandise at our Assistance League Thrift Shop. Our 240+ members work tirelessly to staff, fund and support our fundraisers and programs, donating more than 24,000 volunteer hours in fiscal 2011-12. We participate in local events to raise awareness of our organization's activities in the community; have a speaker's bureau that provides information about our organization to interested groups; and a fiscally responsible infrastructure that returns over 87% of the funds we raise back to our community.

We make a difference in the lives of those we serve, and in the process, enrich our own lives.
