Assistance League Georgetown Area Thrift Shop

Our upscale Thrift Shop is stocked with new and gently used clothing and accessories, household items and furniture, donated by members of the community. Proceeds fund our Philanthropic Programs: Operation School Bell, Reading and More, and New Friends.

We have NO paid staff….only volunteers.

Assistance League of Georgetown Area began as a guild in May 1998 and in July 2001 became the 102nd chartered chapter of National Assistance League.

Currently we have over 160 members and five philanthropic programs that touch lives of children and adults in the Georgetown area.

Our membership continues to grow, as well as philanthropic programs we fund, and the number of community members we reach each year.
