My Nonprofit Reviews

The Assistance League is operated by volunteers, which means money donated goes directly to the programs funded by the Assistance League. Children in Wichita receive clothing, shoes, coats and hygiene products, assault victims receive clothing and other items at area hospitals, as clothing is often kept as evidence, bears are provided to children in situations involving law enforcement and around 20 scholarships are awarded each year to students pursuing vocational training. In addition, the Assistance League operates a thriving thrift store, providing quality items at a reasonable cost, generating funds for its programs and providing an opportunity to continue to use items rather than ending up in the landfill. The Assistance League is a great organization making an impact in Wichita.

The Assistance League of Wichita provides valuable services to the Wichita, Kansas community. It is an organization run by volunteers, so I know the money raised is being used to benefit the Assistance League's programs - 1. providing clothing, shoes and toiletries for school children, 2. providing bears for children that are being questioned by police, 3. providing clothing and toiletries for individuals assaulted whose clothing is taken at a hospital for evidence, and 4. providing scholarships to students attending a vocational program. The thrift shop operated by Assistance League volunteers is a triple win - it keeps items out of the landfill, it generates money for the programs, and it provides good quality items at a reasonable cost.
