President's
Message
As Assistance League of Long Beach moves
forward in its 72nd year of service to the community, our
membership of over 950 volunteers are fully committed to helping provide
a brighter future for those we serve.
Our primary goal remains to assess the needs of our community so
we may provide needed services to those most in need.
To meet this goal, we continue to identify and implement new and
efficient ways to expand our philanthropic programs.
On this site you will learn more
about our many philanthropic programs, the plans we have in place for
their growth, and how we raise the funds necessary to provide the
community with the services essential to youth.
We are especially proud that we are on track to expand our two
largest programs. In 2012
-2013, we plan to:
- Open our
orthodontic center from four to five days, which will enable us to
provide 1,000 youth with low-cost, high-quality orthodontic care
- Clothe
8,400 students with two free sets of uniforms. This will bring us
one step closer to our ultimate goal of clothing 10,000 Long Beach
Unified School District students annually.
Of course, we could not meet those needs without the generous and on-going contributions of our remarkable volunteers, corporate, and community supporters, and those who partner with us to bring about change.
We are optimistic about the future
of our organization and look forward to expanding Assistance League’s
service to the greater Long Beach community each year.
To each of you who makes this possible, we say, “Thank you for
your commitment to Assistance League of Long Beach, an organization of
MANY
MINDS, ONE HEART.”
