About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to improve people’s lives through local philanthropic programs we operate in Santa Clara County. We provide essential goods and services to low-income new mothers and their newborn infants, underserved school-age children, their families and college students. Through these programs, we hope not only to enrich people’s lives but also to help them flourish.
About
Assistance League of Los Altos is one of the 120 chapters of Assistance League. We are an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nonsectarian service organization that puts caring and commitment into action through our philanthropic programs in Santa Clara County. We fund our programs through grants, generous donations from our membership, the community, and special events. We operate several philanthropic programs aimed at enriching the lives of children and families. Member volunteers are dedicated to ongoing support and a long-term presence in the community through hands-on involvement and innovative philanthropic programs. Our chapter has two philanthropic program categories: Operation School Bell® and Community Needs. The Operation School Bell program serves children from preschool thru high school, and the Community Needs program serves different age groups. There are two programs under the Community Needs umbrella, Baby Bundles which serves infants, their mothers and families. We partner with Santa Clara County’s Valley Healthcare Public Health Nurses. The second program is the Food Pantry supporting food insecure students attending Foothill Community College. The Operation School Bell program is an Assistance League flagship program. Under the Operation School Bell umbrella, we partner with Hospital School at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto Unified School District; Sunnyvale School District including Bishop Elementary, Columbia Middle, Lakewood Elementary, San Miguel Elementary, Vargas Elementary Schools, and YMCA Northwest Division serving Title 1 students; Fremont High School in Fremont Union High School District; Mariano Castro Elementary School in Mountain View- Whisman School District; and Los Altos School District. Through the Operation School Bell Program, we supply the students with books, school supplies, uniforms and equipment, and other school-specific supplies.
