Operation School Bell Clothing program provides far more than just a new wardrobe. It allows schoolchildren to fit in better with their peers and empowers them to reach their potential. For some children, this will be the first time they have had a new pair of shoes, a warm coat, or an item of clothing that is not a hand-me-down.\u00a0 In 2025 – 2026 elementary students will receive $75 to shop for appropriate clothing.
\nNew clothing has the potential to boost self-esteem, encourage school attendance, and improve academic performance.<\/p>\n

Area schools are stocked with school appropriate clothing including: sweatpants, sweatshirts, tee shirts, gym shorts, and underwear.
\nStudents who may have an “accident” at school will now have a change of clothing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Our Literacy For Learning promotes literacy and the love of reading.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Literacy is critical to a child’s educational success.\u00a0 Our Reading for Life<\/strong> program gives age-appropriate new books to students in low-income schools to promote literacy and help students to build a home library.<\/p>\n

Our Reading for All\u00a0<\/strong>program provides gently used books to various agencies in our community to encourage literacy at home.<\/p>\n

Member volunteers work with students in the classroom to improve their reading and comprehension skills through our Volunteers for Classrooms<\/strong>\u00a0program.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1569647293820{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Through our Vision for the Future program in collaboration with our vision care partners, we provide eye exams and eyeglasses for needy students.
