Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito Benefits Local Families

San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts is proud that local nonprofits work to meet local community needs. Assistance League Rancho San Dieguito® volunteers raise funds all year to meet needs of local families. Assistance League Rancho San Dieguito hosts 10 shopping events each October to benefit North County families. Last Tuesday County Supervisor Roberts welcomed children and parents to the shopping site, Target in Encinitas.

Who We Are

Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito has been serving the needs of North County San Diego communities for more than 20 years. We are a 100% volunteer organization with no paid staff. Our mission is to implement programs and services that enrich the lives of children and adults in need.

Who We Help Every Fall

This year we have invited 1000 children to shop with Assistance League and receive $75 each in school clothes and shoes.

· We host events for elementary children and their parents each fall. Recipients are from families that struggle financially.

· We serve District 3 Coastal North County school districts (Encinitas, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar).

How San Diego County Benefits

Some in San Diego are surprised when they hear that there are pockets of poverty in Coastal North County. Our research validates this. When we ask local sources where help is needed, they tell us that our programs fill their community’s needs. We seek to diminish the outward signs of poverty by providing new school clothes and shoes so that children focus more confidently on learning.

Our chapter has supported economically disadvantaged families since 1993. We are convinced: children who succeed in school are more likely to become the productive adults on which all of San Diego County will depend. That’s why we work diligently to support District 3’s elementary school children.
