Since 1940, the noteworthy philanthropic programs of Assistance League of Long Beach are the inspiration of the dedicated volunteers who continue to fulfill their mission “to create a community of volunteers to identify and deliver philanthropic services." 

Assistance League of Long Beach is the largest chapter of National Assistance League and is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) corporation comprised of more than 900 hands-on members. They provide more than 85,000 volunteer hours annually that enrich the lives of over 15,000 Long Beach residents every year.


Operation School Bell®

Featured on the front page of the Press-Telegram in "Uniforms in the Bag".  Included large color photos and caption on page A1.  Eight additional color photos are in the newspaper's online photo gallery.  One of the many young students that Operation School Bell supports wrote this letter of appreciation.

Shannon Cofell, Rick Rackers Chairman, along with her Rick Rackers team and a number of Corporate Partner volunteers, packed and distributed more than 1,400 backpacks with new school uniforms for kindergarten bound Head Start Children in June.  Operation School Bell’s goal is to clothe 8,400 children during the 2013 school year.  Assistance League of Long Beach members will be measuring children at six middle schools during their 6th grade orientation during the last week in August.
