Quote from Gene James, Mayor of San Clemente

At a recent ribbon cutting to celebrate the Bargain Box Thrift Store’s recent improvements, San Clemente Mayor Gene James shared “The Assistance League of Capistrano Valley is an amazing organization. In the past year, they have delivered more than $249,000 to our local students, military members and their families, educators and other community members.  This is a nonprofit that delivers in a huge way to the community with no paid employees and very little overhead.  It is indeed an amazing group of volunteers; they personify the greatness of San Clemente.”
