Assistance League of Huntington Beach has over 300 members including our DreamCatchers and Assisteens® auxiliaries. Our members raise and manage chapter and auxiliary funds, maintain the chapter house and provide member volunteers for chapter and auxiliary programs. The member volunteers fully staff all of the programs. Last 2022-2023 fiscal year, 58,637 volunteer hours were spent during Assistance League of Huntington Beach activities. While some work is contracted out (landscaping, maintenance, some bookkeeping, etc.) There are no employed staff. The chapter, including auxiliaries, now has fifteen philanthropic programs that serve the needs of Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley and Westminster.
