Proceeds from this fundraiser support the philanthropic programs of Assistance League of Bend serving children and seniors in need in Deschutes County.
Through Operation School Bell, Assistance League of Bend has proudly been providing back-to-school clothing to low-income children since 1991. Rising inflation can present hurdles for families struggling to make ends meet. New clothes, warm jackets, and shoes that fit are proven to boost a child’s self-esteem and help them feel more engaged in the classroom. We are seeking donations to provide more than 2,600 children in Deschutes County with new clothes.
Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to provide a local child with new clothing.
