Assistance League of Las Vegas

Project Overview

The name of the project is Operation School Bell. We provide new school clothing to K-12 children in need who attend Clark County Title I schools.  We serve children most in need in Clark County Nevada.  Prior to Covid, the school district teachers or counselors would select the children most in need and transport them to our facility where they were assisted one on one to select their new clothing.  Since the pandemic, the children can no longer come to our facility personally. Parents, however, may request our services through the children’s schools, and school personnel collects the forms and checks sizes before forwarding to us.

Our members then fill the orders and the school district picks the clothing up and delivers it to the children’s schools.  Our key strategy is to get much needed school clothing to the children in need in whatever way possible, with the hope that the children will be able to return in person soon.  Children who do not have adequate clothing to attend school often do not attend, are teased and have low self-esteem.  By providing these necessities, the children’s potential for academic success is increased.

All children in need who attend Clark County School District Title I schools are eligible to receive our services, throughout the entire County.  Any limit to the number of children served would only be due to logistics of time and staffing.
