Operation School Bell

Established in 1989, Operation School Bell has been able to provide clothes for over 25,000 children in need. This philanthropic program strives to enhance self-esteem, promote learning, and encourage regular school attendance.

The Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, Menifee, and Temecula School Districts have joined forces to give children in need the attention they deserve. We accept referrals by district health clerks as well, providing any child with the clothing they need.

Teaming up with Kohl’s stores in Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee, and the Target in Lake Elsinore, we have come up with a program that helps children get clothing for the school year. This “shopping event” allows children to attend their appointment time with their parents and spend $125 for necessary school appropriate items. The only thing we expect in return is a smile on each child’s face. One of the most disheartening things is to hear a child say they have never owned clothing they can call their own.

Our Save Our Schools (SOS) program has helped multiple preschool students from Head Start, State Preschool, and Special Education Preschool in the Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, and Lake Elsinore School Districts. Any child in need receives a duffle bag filled with hygienic items and a change of clothing.

Operation School Bell strives to provide children with the attention they deserve and clothing on their backs. As long as children leave happy with big smiles on their faces, we can sleep at night knowing we have done a good thing.

Nonprofit Operation School Bell Program Helps School Students Get The Clothes They Need

Students shouldn’t be without an education all because they don’t have the clothes they need to attend classes. Throughout California, schools such as the Menifee Union School District, Temecula Valley Unified School District, Lake Elsinore Unified School District and the Murrieta Unified School District can improve school attendance and promote a great learning environment for disadvantaged students through the Operation School Bell Program.

Operation School Bell is a service offered by the Assistance League of Temecula Valley to provide clothing to over 5,000 students in the area. Low income children who qualify for the program can receive clothing from shopping events held at Kohl’s and Target stores in the area. Children receive uniforms, jackets, shoes, backpacks, grooming kits and school supplies to raise their self-esteem and make them eager to attend school.

Many community organizations contribute to this program, including nonprofit organizations such as the Community Foundation which donated a $9,000 grant to Operation School Bell. If you are interested in donating to this program to help school students, make your contribution at the Operation School Bell website.
