OPERATION SCHOOL BELL®

We provide new school clothes to kids in need.

For some children, this will be the first time they have ever had a new shirt, a warm sweatshirt of their own, or a backpack filled with school supplies. For the first time, they truly feel like they fit in with all the other kids.

 

Kids are given the confidence they need to succeed.

New clothing has the power to elevate self-esteem, encourage school attendance, and improve academic performance. We are providing far more than just a new wardrobe—we are empowering young students to reach their full potential.

Uniform Schools – Each Child Receives:

  • 2 pairs of pants
  • 2 shorts or skirts
  • a sweatshirt
  • three shirts
  • six pairs of underwear
  • eight pairs of socks
  • a hygiene kit containing personal care items
  • a backback filled with basic school supplies
  • one new book of their choice

Non-uniform Schools:

  • School appropriate clothing selected by family members
  • $75 per student

Due to the nationwide pandemic, a major overhaul of the program was necessary this year. We successfully developed a new method of distributing school uniforms to 588 needy OUSD students.
