Operation School Bell®
Feeling Good About Going to School 
Dear Friend,
Bells are ringing, signaling the beginning of a new school year for local students. What should be a time of excitement and renewal can be a time of uncertainty and anxiety for thousands of children who don’t have the basic tools to succeed in the classroom. At Assistance League® of Indianapolis, we understand that many children in our community lack fundamental necessities such as school clothing and properly fitting shoes. Our Operation School Bell® program provides new shoes and/or a duffel bag full of appropriate apparel to economically challenged elementary aged students. The smile on each child’s face when they receive their new clothing is a reflection of the happiness and peace of mind this program provides to students and their families. The need for assistance in our community continues to grow. With your donation and support, our volunteers hope to pack 3,000 duffel bags and distribute 2,000 pairs of shoes for students this current school year. This is an investment not only in the children, but in their education and future as well. Education is the first start in breaking the cycle of poverty and the beginning of a brighter future. Any amount of donation is needed and appreciated. Assistance League of Indianapolis takes great pride in making sure that every dollar contributed counts. With your help, more students will benefit from Operation School Bell with a full duffel bag and a full heart. On behalf of Assistance League of Indianapolis and the children we serve, thank you for your support! Sincerely, Sharon Gleason Sharon Gleason, President Operation School Bell®
For 2022, we will utilize a “Pack & Deliver” method to provide apparel to economically challenged students as identified by school personnel. Our organization supplies a clothing form that is completed by the family and returned to our leadership team. Volunteers then fill a duffel bag for each child with items that include:
In 2022 our School Bell volunteers began working out of our new warehouse located conveniently near our chapter office. We are excited to announce a new era for Operation School Bell® and the students we serve! Assistance League of Indianapolis takes great pride in putting your donation to the very best use. With your help, more children can receive an Operation School Bell® full duffel bag and a full heart. Please donate TODAY and help fill a duffel bag for a local child in need.
