Welcome to the website of Assistance League of Bellingham. We are a member of Assistance League, a national organization, which is comprised of 26,000 members in more than 120 chapters. Each chapter’s focus is on its local community’s needs. All members are highly motivated to effect change in their communities because they have a personal stake in the outcome.
Although these pages give you facts and figures about us, they cannot begin to describe the commitment and dedication of our members whose collective energy and talent is what drives our organization. We are an active group of volunteers working to meet the needs of local people. We have five community programs that serve a variety of ages. To help fund these programs we run a great Thrift & Gift Shop in downtown Bellingham on Cornwall. All of the money we raise stays right here in Whatcom County.
Our programs make a positive difference in Whatcom County by providing needed services and are made possible by the strong support of our community. Shopping in our Thrift & Gift Shop, donating clothing and household goods for resale, attending our Fall Fling, Mardi Gras and Yule Boutique fundraisers are just a few ways you can help support our multiple programs.
If making a difference in your community appeals to you, or if you wish to give back a little of what you have been given, please look us over and consider becoming a participating member.
“Working together we can all make a difference.”
Sharon Matzinger
President
