Assistance League of San Jose is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization whose members have had a passion for supporting vital community services since 1983. Our community service programs are designed to serve unmet needs in the community.
Our volunteers donate thousands of volunteer hours yearly. In addition to working directly within the community, chapter members conduct and administer all community service programs without paid staff. All programs are funded through grants, donations and fundraising activities.
