We had an opportunity to catch up with Donna Nottingham, VP of Resource Development & Treasurer, and Maggie Meling of the Assistance League Visalia. We talked about the many things in the community that the Visalia Assistance League does here in our community. Their programs concentrate on the children of Tulare County, helping 11,084 children and families in 2018 through five ongoing programs.

HEALTH – Clothing and Hygiene Kit Program – Operation School Bell

LITERACY – Books for Home Libraries Program – Rainbow Reading

EDUCATION – Backpack Program – Operation School Bell     Educational Puppet Shows – Kids on the Block    U.S. Maps Painted – Fifty Sense

Their annual rummage sale along with their DISNEY RAFFLE & annual Kentucky Derby event raises thousands of dollars to continue these local programs that help many under served children & families in our community. They’re always seeking new members. Men are also encouraged to join this amazing organization. To contact them Email: assistanceleaguevisalia@alvisalia.org
