We provide new school clothes to kids in need.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

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.\u00a0 Now, they truly feel like they fit in with the other kids.<\/p>\n

Community and School Partners<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Operation School Bell\u00ae has been providing new school clothes to homeless and economically disadvantaged school children since 1966, serving over 53,000 children since its inception.\u00a0 Last year, these services were provided to over 2200 children<\/strong> from Transitional Kindergarten through 12th grade and some college students.<\/p>\n

Currently OSB serves nine Riverside County school districts: Alvord, Corona-Norco, <\/em>Jurupa, Moreno Valley, Nuview, Perris Elementary, Perris Union High School, Riverside and Val Verde.\u00a0 The program also partners with California School for the Deaf, Guardian Scholars (aged out foster children at UCR)<\/em>, Sherman Indian Institute and students from the Inspire Life Skills programs at Riverside CC and UC Riverside.<\/p>\n

Schools participating in OSB manage applications for the OSB Program. Please contact your school to see if your child qualifies for Operation School Bell\u00ae.<\/p>\n

The extraordinary support from JCPenney stores in Riverside and Moreno Valley, and Target in Corona, helps us provide students necessary clothing to help them be successful.\u00a0 Together, we are making a difference in the lives of children in Greater Riverside.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”6″ css=”.vc_custom_1750107833933{margin: 0px !important;}” accent_color=”#003399″][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”5706″ img_size=”650×400″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

School closure and CDC guidelines has changed the way we provide children in the community with clothing.\u00a0 Operation School Bell now is packing\/delivering an assortment of clothing, health kits and other supplies normally provided to elementary students in person. Next year, JC Penny will help with in person clothing selections for K-12 students while ensuring CDC protocols are in place.<\/p>\n

Our mission to the community has not changed;
\njust our methods of delivery.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9165″ img_size=”225×375″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9162″ img_size=”300×375″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”7054″ img_size=”300×375″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”6″ css=”” accent_color=”#003399″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1750108017146{margin-top: -35px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #6d97bf !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”PROGRAM REVIEW 2024-2025″ font_container=”tag:h1|font_size:42|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1753805190021{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1569624613695{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_cta h2=”2,240″ h2_font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:60|text_align:center|color:%232c4e75|line_height:1.5″ h2_google_fonts=”font_family:Hind%3A300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700|font_style:500%20bold%20regular%3A500%3Anormal” txt_align=”center” color=”white” add_icon=”top” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-tag” i_color=”white” i_background_style=”rounded” i_background_color=”custom” css=”” use_custom_fonts_h2=”true” i_on_border=”true” i_custom_background_color=”#2c4d75″]<\/p>\n
