Clothes and hygiene kits are provided to USD 259 students based on their need identified by school social workers. In 2016, Assistance League Wichita created a partnership with JC Penney’s West allowing parents and their children to shop for school-appropriate clothing at the store at a reduced cost to ALW. In Fall 2020, Operation School Bell was expanded to include clothes, hygiene, literacy, school supplies and food.

Here are a few thank you notes from children.
