Our Future

Our future depends upon our volunteers, who reinvigorate the organization by staffing programs and providing services to enhance the lives of men, women, and children in Tucson. We invite you to become a member and to help create a brighter future for the less fortunate in our area.

Our History

In 1958, a field representative of National Assistance League, met with a group of community-minded women to explore the possibility of beginning a chapter in Tucson. The result of that meeting was the formation of The Service League of Tucson in 1959, which was the first group of its kind to be organized in Arizona. The group’s twenty-two founding members installed their first board of directors and set up Homemaker Services to provide temporary in-home help during illness and recovery.

Membership and support grew and The Service League of Tucson officially became Assistance League of Tucson after receiving its charter in May 1964; it became the thirty-second chapter of National Assistance League (now Assistance League®) and the first of five chapters in Arizona.

After meeting in various locations for the first five years, Assistance League of Tucson found a permanent home in 1965 when the property was purchased on Alvernon Way. Several building phases produced our current facilities, which house the administration offices of our philanthropic programs as well as a large thrift shop – a major source of funds for our programs.
