Assistance League of the Foothill Communities

As volunteers, we are aiming to transform the lives of children and adults through community programs.

We are an all-volunteer, membership organization making an impact through targeted programs that provide hands-on services and support. We raise funds through special events, thrift shop staffed by volunteers, direct mail campaigns, and grants.

In the last fiscal year our member volunteers contributed over 29,000 hours of service to the community. We have an excellent record of fundraising, with 65% return to the community. We benefit from continuing grant funding from several local foundations.

In addition we have a long standing partnership with the 95 schools in the 8 school districts on the west end of San Bernardino County that we serve.

Since 1953, hundreds of thousands of local residents have been served by our programs. We have touched the lives of many local residents with hands-on services, goods, and support. We have remodeled our thrift shop and increased our revenues in order to expand our philanthropic programs to better meet local needs. We currently serve grades TK through twelve in 95 schools, in 8 local school districts. Each year, we increase the number of students dressed reaching 2032 this past fiscal year. We have eight agreements with local fire, police agencies, and local hospitals to provide our AL Bears to children in traumatic situations.

We continue to explore new prospects for grant funding. One of our newest programs--Operation School Bell Basics--provides new underwear and socks to one local school district and this year, we have added a second school district. Another new program under the auspices of Operation School Bell(OSB) is OSB Closet in which we provide new clothing to our high school districts outreach program--Eileen's HOPE Closet.
