Empowering children to succeed<\/h3>\n

Operation School Bell\u00ae<\/sup> is Assistance League\u2019s signature program. The goal is to help children succeed in school by providing new school clothing and books to advance their reading skills.<\/p>\n

Each year, Operation School Bell clothes nearly 400 students<\/h3>\n

Children who go to school without adequate clothing often suffer low self-esteem. Students (K-8th grade) are identified by Livermore, Pleasanton and Dublin public school teachers and counselors. The children are invited to come to Kohl\u2019s at a designated time to shop with a volunteer. They are outfitted from head to toe with the assistance of one of our caring member volunteers.<\/p>\n

The children all leave with a huge bag of new clothes, wide grins and a renewed sense of confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
