Programs Overview
Assistance League of Salt Lake City is a (501) (c) (3) philanthropic organization that is 100% volunteer-run. Our mission is serving children and adults in our community through hands-on philanthropic programs. We have developed these programs as a result of ongoing needs assessment and dialogue with key community agencies so that we target unmet or emerging needs and provide assistance previously unavailable. Although members are largely responsible for implementing our programs, many community non-member volunteers contribute invaluable time and resources to make them successful.
