Assistance League\u00ae of El Paso members give each child individualized attention with the goal of improving their attendance, academic performance, as well as their self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Students arrive at the Chapter house via school buses and each child is greeted by volunteers who work one-on-one to help them select their new clothing.\u00a0 When transportation cost prohibit a school from coming to us, volunteers use order forms containing the student&#8217;s sizes and color preferences to pack a personalized bag for each student.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Clothing is purchased at wholesale with funds raised by our Thrift Shop, grants, fundraising events, and generous donations from members and the El Paso community. In addition Assistance League\u00ae of El Paso members volunteer over 25,000 hours annually to raise funds and run all our programs. More than 108,000 children have been helped to date.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Each Child in grades 1-5 receives\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three pairs of pants or jeans<\/li>\n<li>Three Polo or T-shirts<\/li>\n<li>Package of underwear<\/li>\n<li>6 pairs of socks<\/li>\n<li>One reversible zippered jacket<\/li>\n<li>New athletic shoes<\/li>\n<li>Hygiene kit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 320px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-4583-1\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/el-paso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Operation-School-Bell-Website-2018.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/el-paso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Operation-School-Bell-Website-2018.mp4\">https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/el-paso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Operation-School-Bell-Website-2018.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid css=&#8221;&#8221; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1721934953301-7762b8e0-ef85-0&#8243; include=&#8221;3307,7564,7684&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid css=&#8221;&#8221; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1721934953302-b8de020e-274c-10&#8243; include=&#8221;7713,7683,7562&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1532899082621{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;040000&#8243;] Many public elementary schools in the 9 districts in El Paso County require students to wear uniforms.
