Assistance League Chicagoland West volunteer membership identifies unmet community needs and then structures programs to fill those needs. Our members provided over 11,700 hours to directly help 5,115 community members last year. We raise funds through our events and solicitations, but we could not maintain all of our programs without the help of individual donations.
Please consider making a donation and help to strengthen our community. We have listed a number of ways you can donate to us. We also recognize our donors in various ways. Read about our Donor Level Benefits.
Contact Donor Development with any questions.
