About Us

History

The Glendora Welfare Association (GWA) was formed in 1958 to provide emergency assistance to Glendora residents in need and we continue to provide this same caring, personal and confidential help today.

Funding

Glendora Welfare Association is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 public benefit corporation (FIN 95-1959488).

We are funded by generous supporters from our community such as businesses, foundations, service clubs, churches and private individuals. In addition, Glendora Welfare hosts an annual fundraiser.

Our organization is fortunate to partner with New Unto Others Thrift Shop in Glendora which has become a source of modest financial support when patrons donate items to sell in our name. If you have items to donate please ask our account number 67 be assigned to your items. New Unto Others is located at 175 N. Vermont Ave., in Glendora. Their phone number is (626) 914-1200. Thank you.

Our Board

Our organization of volunteers has extensive life experiences in understanding the needs of others in times of emergency. Our Board members and our Director of Services have experiences that range from public education, law enforcement, social services, the judicial system, mental health, local faith-based organizations, and various civic and service organizations. We explore our clients' needs and then determine what resources will meet them.
