Assistance League of Bellingham celebrated the birthday of its founder, Anne Banning by doing what it does best, giving back to the community.

For National Action! Week, ALB held a Sock Drive during the month of February to benefit Operation School Bell®. The socks will be given to the Bellingham School Coordinators for distribution through the Operation School Bell program.

In 2020, the Sock Drive was open to the public and with help from our customers and members, we donated 822 pair. This year, since our Thrift & Gift Shop was still closed due to the Pandemic, it was an Assistance League of Bellingham members only event.

The total count we are giving in 2021 is 853 pairs!  WOW – way to go members…thank you!
