School can be hard. Assistance League Glendale strives to make it a little easier on children that may be struggling and are in need. Through Operation School Bell\u00ae, we provide these children with new clothing, a voucher for new shoes, a hygiene kit and, more importantly, confidence.<\/p>\n

For many children, this may be the first time they have their own sweater, a new toothbrush or shoes without holes. These essentials truly help children feel like they fit in with their classmates.<\/p>\n

The children we assist are referred by school personnel throughout all of Glendale Unified School District. Our Auxiliary, Las Caritas, among a multitude of other activities, creates the hygiene kits for each child distributed by the Operation School Bell philanthropy. The kit contains shampoo, soap, a washcloth, toothbrush and toothpaste as well as a hairbrush.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_images_carousel images=”4275,4546,4547,3567″ img_size=”600×600″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3435″ img_size=”800×800″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]After each student has finished trying on the clothing they get to keep, they are able to pick out a book. Books are available by grade levels to help encourage reading at their level. They always light up when they get to choose for themselves.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3436″ img_size=”800×800″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]Three sets of clothing including shirts and pants or skirts and rompers for girls, a sweater, socks, underwear and hygiene kit go into this reusable sack, blue for boys and red for girls.
