Assault Survivor Kits®
are provided for the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) nurses at Dell Children’s Medical Center (DCMC). Items include new clothing, stuffed animals, journals for writing and “brave kid” capes, as well as other needs requested by the SANE unit. Assistance League of Austin provides these comfort items to children and adolescent assault survivors examined at DCMC.
Operation School Bell®
is the flagship program of Assistance League chapters across the United States. Austin’s Operation School Bell provides school-age children in need with a wardrobe of new school clothing, shoes, and toiletries. Our goal in 2018-19 is to have clothed 100,000 children since our inception, helping them feel good about themselves.
