Assistance League of Omaha is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) volunteer service organization whose members identify, develop, implement and fund ongoing philanthropic programs to serve specific needs of children and adults in the greater Omaha community. Fran Batchelder organized the Omaha chapter in 1972, and it officially became a guild of Assistance League® in 1973. The chapter became a chartered member of Assistance League in 1976 with 95 members.

Currently, there are 320 members who give of their time and talents for the betterment of their community. The chapter owns a building at 8502 West Center Road, in Omaha, Nebraska, where the chapter offices and Assistance League Thrift Shop are located. Assistance League has six programs that it supports via fundraising activities.

Annually, the Omaha Chapter organization returns over $550,000 to the greater Omaha Area, assisting approximately 5,000 families. This is made possible by the 320 member volunteers who contribute more than 34,500 service hours to our community.  Operation School Bell®, our signature program, served 4,000 children last year and since 1975, more than 90,000 children total.
