The Assistance League of Irvine has made a significant difference in the lives of local residents through various community programs. Each year, the organization runs Operation School Bell, providing essential clothing and supplies to students from low-income families enrolled in the Irvine Unified School District.

Furthermore, the league awards scholarships to income-qualified students attending Irvine Valley College, focusing on high school seniors, single-parent students, and those pursuing vocational training. In a collaborative effort, the Assistance League partnered with the Irvine Public Schools Foundation to award $15,000 in grants aimed at enhancing classroom learning experiences.

This support helps teachers and counselors implement innovative educational strategies. Community members looking to contribute can easily find information on the Assistance League's website or reach out via email.
