Transforming Lives • Strengthening Community

 

Assistance League of Inland North County is an all-volunteer 501 (c)(3) nonsectarian, nonpolitical, nonprofit organization serving children and families in need.

Our Chapter provides services through nine charitable and philanthropic programs primarily in the Inland North County area of San Diego.  An area that covers approximately 414 sq. miles, and includes the communities of Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, Bonsal, Fallbrook, Rainbow, Valley Center, Warner Springs, Julian, Poway, and Rancho Bernardo.

Our Thrift & Consignment Shop is the primary source of funding for our programs.  The shop has been voted the Best Thrift Shop in North County two years in a row (2020 and 2021). And, the Greater Escondido Chamber of Commerce awarded us its 2023 Nonprofit of the Year award in April.  Our shop boasts some unique, one of kind items and the best customer service in town.  Please visit our Thrift Shop Page for more information on hours, donations and mask policy.

We are a supporter of Palomar College and in April 2023, the Palomar College Foundation named classrooms at the College’s facilities in our honor due to our continued support with grants and scholarships.
