What We Do Assistance League purchases new clothing and items given to students at a wholesale price from vendors. During their visit to Operation School Bell, children are treated with respect and dignity. The utmost care is taken to select the correct size, even if it means an item for a hard to fit student is later delivered to his or her school. The Operation School Bell Shop is located in the IPS Professional Development Center at Forest Manor. School district social workers screen and identify students who are in need of clothing. |
How It's Done Each child receives a duffel bag, winter coat, hat, gloves, socks, underwear, belt, and three polo type shirts. In addition, the child chooses two items from Operation School Bell's inventory of navy or khaki pants, skorts, jumpers, or jeans. Assistance League volunteers work one-on-one with each child, and aid them in selecting items from an array of colors and styles in their size. A hygiene kit and two books are supplied as well. |
