Building Confidence
World of Books
School libraries were decimated during COVID when many books that had been checked out, were not returned. Grants are provided to local school libraries to replaced missing and outdated books.
.
I Love to Read
Over 7,570 books are delivered to local schools, where they are given to children who have completed school’s reading program. These books are cherished and often read to younger siblings. Volunteers also participate in classroom programs by reading to and mentoring the students.

No one wants to wear their poverty.
Operation School Bell 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.
We provide new school clothes to kids in need.
For some children, this will be the first time they have had a new pair of shoes, a warm coat, or a toothbrush of their very own. Now, they truly feel like they fit in with the other kids.
Kids are given confidence to succeed.
New clothing has the potential to boost self-esteem, encourage school attendance, and improve academic performance.
Operation School Bell changes the lives of children. Please join us in giving kids the confidence they need to succeed in school!
Operation School Bell provides clothing to children in the Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista Unified School Districts.
