Welcome to Assistance League of Greater Wilmington

Transforming Lives • Strengthening Community

Assistance League of Greater Wilmington is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that is transforming lives and strengthening community through our philanthropic programs that serve the Greater Wilmington area.  Our local chapter is one of 85 chapters of National Assistance League that started in Los Angeles in the early 1900’s.

All funds raised are used to serve the people of New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties.

Since 2008, our Philanthropic Programs have given over $2,856,000 to help those in need.

We Believe

When essential needs are met in the community, families will flourish.

When we inspire a child, we can change the trajectory of their lives.

When we clothe a child, we give them the confidence to succeed in school.

When we give young adults the opportunity to earn a degree, it lifts the entire community.
