The plaque congratulates the Arcadia Assistance League in their “Business Icon” selection and award decided jointly by the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce and Arcadia Historical Society for their meritorious and charitable service to Arcadia and surrounding communities within the San Gabriel Valley.
The Arcadia Assistance League recently celebrated its 60th anniversary and continues to promote various fund raising activities in support of charitable causes that benefit underprivileged families and children. They are most notably known for “Operation School Bell,” an annual project that provides much needed clothing and school materials to impoverished children at the beginning of every school year.
Funding for this initiative is made possible by sales proceeds from their Bargain Box Thrift Store outlet on Live Oak Avenue and donations from various private and corporate sectors. It is with great pleasure that we acknowledge and thank the Arcadia Assistance League for their altruism and support given to those less fortunate in need.
