During the spring, Assistance League of Bend activated numerous initiatives that assisted and served families in Deschutes County. In addition to providing new school clothes to students in need, we distributed books to low-income students to improve their reading skills and encourage a lifelong habit, we loaned formal wear to girls who might not otherwise be able to attend their high school proms and we provided emergency clothing bundles to children entering the foster care system.
