Philanthropies
Assistance League is a national nonprofit with 95 local chapters, fostering community-based philanthropy by supporting, dressing, feeding, and educating children and families in need.
Operation School Bell
Operation School Bell® is a signature philanthropic program of the Assistance League that provides new school clothing, shoes, hygiene kits, and school supplies to thousands of K-12 students in need. Designed to boost self-esteem and encourage school attendance, the program serves children referred by school districts, ensuring they have the necessary items to succeed in school.
Camp Pendleton Support
Operation Camp Pendleton supports low-income United States Marine Corps families stationed at Camp Pendleton by enhancing the social condition of the families and educational experiences of their children. We have developed specific events for military families at Camp Pendleton to show our appreciation for their service and address some of their known needs
Events:
1. Spring Baskets: In the spring, member volunteers assemble spring baskets for approximately 150 preschoolers at the Armed Services YMCA at Camp Pendleton.
2. Action Week: Our member volunteers provide two new nursery school books to approximately 150 pre-school children enrolled in the Armed Services YMCA program at Camp Pendleton.
3. Operation School Bell®: In August, we coordinate with seven Assistance League chapters to provide school clothing and supplies to the children of military families at Camp Pendleton. Each chapter has an area of responsibility. We provide leggings and jeans to the girls.
