Advancing Lives in Pasadena

Advancing Lives in Pasadena Volunteers dedicated to improving the lives of those we serve and partnering with the community to maximize our impact.

Assistance League of Pasadena is a chapter of Assistance League® - a national, nonprofit, volunteer organization. Founded in 1936, Assistance League of Pasadena is one of the organization's longest standing chapters. Each year the Assistance League of Pasadena volunteer members dedicate tens of thousands of service hours and touch thousands of lives in Pasadena and the surrounding communities thro

ugh their hands-on philanthropic efforts. The chapter's philanthropic programs include Operation School Bell, Assault Survivor Kits, Bear Hugs, Very Important Performers, and Craft Fair Gift Shop; all are supported through donations, grants, and revenue from the chapter's Treasure Fair thrift shop. Operation School Bell provides under-served students with school uniforms, books, shoes, and personal care items. Assault Survivor Kits helps restore dignity to assault survivors by furnishing them with clothing and personal care items when law enforcement retains their clothing for evidence. Bear Hugs provides teddy bears to comfort traumatized, abused, and neglected children. Very Important Performers celebrates middle school students who have shown dramatic improvements in academics, attendance, and behavior or have made a positive difference in their school environment. Craft Fair is a consignment shop showcasing handcrafted items created by individuals over age 50. Its goal is to provide extra income, plus a sense of added productivity in seniors’ later years.
