Description

​You might think that Assistance League of Amador Valley® has not been doing much with the COVID-19 restrictions. Assistance League, however, has been busy. While some of our programs have been put on hold, others continue. In our time of such great need it is vital to continue our work of helping those in need. ​Our donations of milk, eggs, flour, sugar and oil to the Food Pantry in Livermore on Junction Ave. are now weekly, thanks to donations and grants. Currently, the pantry is serving more than 1200 families each month. The need is great, and our can-do workers are helping to fill a need. ​Our Birthday Bag program this year has provided birthday bags to 22 children in local shelters. The bags contain age appropriate gifts and items to celebrate their birthday. In Livermore alone, we help children in three different shelters – one for homeless and two for victims of domestic abuse. Children in shelters may not have any other acknowledgment of their birthday and this is one way for these children to feel special during a very challenging time in their lives. Birthday bags let the children know we care. ​As a nonprofit, we rely on fundraising to support our programs. Our annual Poinsettia Sale, Crab Feast and Mad Hatter’s Tea are on hold due to Covid-19. We hope to resume both activities next year. In the meantime, our can-do ladies are busy working to plan a virtual fundraiser this spring which will provide some much-needed revenue to continue our programs. Stay tuned for more information.
