Operation School Bell

Operation School Bell®

Operation School Bell® is the signature philanthropic program of all Assistance League chapters.
At Assistance League of East Valley, we address the needs of children from K through 12th grade, focusing on three areas. 

 

Teens

Homeless Teens is a new focus area for Assistance League of East Valley though Operation School Bell. We have begun work with both the Chandler and Gilbert School Districts. Both school districts identify homeless school age children. We strive to assist the schools to provide opportunities for these students 7th-12 grade, to succeed. We are providing clothing, shoes, toiletries as well as special needs such as summer school tuition or dual enrollment for high school students. In 2021-2022 we reached 338 students.


Dressings

At the beginning of each school year our chapter provides new school clothing, shoes, hygiene kits and books to kindergarten through sixth grade students in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and Kyrene school districts. These services are available to students who have been identified by their schools as children in need. A goal of this program is to enhance self-esteem and encourage regular attendance. During the 2021-2022 year our chapter reached out to 1,446 of these children.

Our chapter is currently working with the:
Higley Unified School  District                  Mesa School District
Queen Creek Unified School District        Kyrene School District
Gilbert School District                               Tempe School District
