OUR PHILANTHROPIC PROGRAMS:
Assistance League of San Luis Obispo County funds and operates three programs:
Operation School Bell® (OSB) gives children in need good quality new clothing for school. Children from kindergarten through 6th grade are referred to us by schools and social service agencies.
Happy kids, Beautiful smiles at Operation School
Bell
Each child receives:
- 6 pairs of socks and underwear
- 2 pairs of jeans (girls may choose jeans and a dress)
- 2 tops / shirts
- 1 hooded jacket
- 1 pair of shoes
We clothe at our two locations but we also take clothing to schools
where children cannot come to us. We clothe about 1100
children each year. Thanks to generous help from
local merchants and the hard work of our volunteer buyers, we are
able to clothe each child for about $80.
Books for Packs provides each child with a new backpack and a new grade-appropriate book. For many children, these are their first-ever new books.
