Operation School Bell® is dedicated to providing new school uniforms to underserved students in the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD). This vital program serves as the “safety net” enabling schools to mandate uniforms, thus fostering a cohesive and supportive learning environment. Annually, Operation School Bell delivers approximately 12,000 backpacks filled with new uniforms, undergarments, and school supplies to Long Beach students.
