Assistance League of San Mateo County Volunteers hard at work fitting school children for new clothes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]Operation School Bell\u00ae is a program of Assistance League of San Mateo County, started in 1953. \u00a0The program provides new school clothing to disadvantaged children in grades K-7. \u00a0Each child \u00a0receives two complete outfits, pants or skorts, tops (uniforms where applicable), plus three pairs of socks and underwear and a sweatshirt. \u00a0A personal hygiene kit with toothbrush, toothpaste and a comb is also provided. Now that\u00a0 Covid restrictions have been lifted, we are able again to invite children to visit our Chapter House to choose their own clothes.\u00a0 Member volunteers are responsible for the purchasing and stocking of the clothing.<\/p>\n

Last year we helped clothe over 3000<\/strong> children in San Mateo County.\u00a0 \u00a0We contract with school districts in San Mateo-Foster City, Burlingame, Redwood City, East Palo Alto, \u00a0Ravenswood, Belmont, San Bruno, and Millbrae. Daly City and South San Francisco. We currently serve 24 schools<\/strong> in San Mateo County. Our goal is to improve the health, self-esteem and school attendance of these children so that they may achieve in school to the best of their ability.<\/p>\n

The bulk of our financing comes from TURNSTYLE<\/strong>, Assistance League’ s resale shop at 60 North B Street in San Mateo. We welcome all who join with us in supporting this worthwhile program. \u00a0All expenses and overhead for running the program and maintaining the facility are assumed by Assistance League of San Mateo County, and all contributions received go directly toward the purchase of new clothing for the children.<\/p>\n
