Operation School Bell is the largest of the six philanthropic programs. Thousands of children in Phoenix do not have adequate school clothing. Working with staff at Title 1 schools, and with the help of our donors and supporters, the Assistance League of Phoenix has provided new school clothing to children in poverty in the Phoenix area for over 25 years. During the 2014-15 year, a total of 7,394 children were given full school uniforms consisting of 3 polos, 2 bottoms (pants, shorts or skorts), shoes, socks, underwear, a sweatshirt, a belt, a hygiene kit and a book of their choice.

Each school can select up to 100 children who qualify for our program (students on the free or reduced lunch program) and are chosen by school social workers or other school personnel. The children are dressed at either our Philanthropic Center or in our Delivering Dreams Bus which travels to schools to dress the students. A $100 reimbursement per trip is offered to help aid in the transportation cost of getting to our facility. If the school cannot provide transportation, our bus will travel to them. At each of our locations every child must present their signed permission slip before being dressed.
