Assistance League of Diablo Valley Schedules Prospective Member Coffee

Find out why we are so proud of Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop and be a part of its success!

Since 1967, Assistance League® of Diablo Valley, a nonprofit member volunteer organization, has improved lives in our community through hands on programs. You might have heard of its primary fundraiser, the Way Side Inn Thrift Shop, a well-known landmark which is located at 3521 Golden Gate Way, in Lafayette.

In response to a growing client base, we are actively pursuing prospective members who would enjoy clothing elementary schoolchildren for a more successful educational experience, testing preschool children for vision issues, performing educational puppet shows for school children, reading to second grade students, or helping in supplying emergency clothing, food and supplies to those in crisis. Two recently formed philanthropic programs concern implementing art in the classroom and staffing the Listen Program which helps identified students with verbal expression. Two other programs address the needs of our seniors.

A Prospective Member Coffee will be held on Wednesday, August 12, at 9:30 A.M., at the Community Resource Center, 2711 Buena Vista Avenue, Walnut Creek. If you are interested in spending quality time and meeting energetic and upbeat people while helping those who are vulnerable, please phone 925-934-0901.
