  The success of Assistance League® of Austin’s philanthropic programs is due entirely to the generosity of individuals, businesses and foundations. Without donations of new and gently used merchandise, our Thrift House would not exist. The Austin community has responded generously to our annual direct mail solicitation. Our programs receive additional funding from cash donations, memorials and grants.

For information on how you can help, please contact Sherry Ellis, ALA President, or Suanne Roueche, Grants Chairman, at 512-458-3716.
