Clothing kids for school, helping the victims of rape and domestic violence, tutoring and providing school supplies for college students are some of the commitments of more than 80 local women – the members of Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati.

Operation School Bell

Provides clothes, shoes and hygiene items for children in need.

Operation School Bell is the official program of National Assistance League.  Locally, Operation School Bell provides under-privileged children with school uniforms, jackets, socks, underwear, belt, hygiene supplies and shoes.

Over the last 13 years, more than 13,000 children have received new school uniforms. The goal for the 2011-2012 school year is to clothe 1900 students in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area schools.

Learning Together

Our members tutor students in area schools to improve academic performance.

Did You Know?

• Physical abuse by a male partner is the most common source of injury for women.
• A woman is raped every two minutes and an attempted rape is committed every three minutes.

Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati is committed to help female victims of assault and violence. To address the needs of these women, we provide kits containing clothing and personal care items to hospitals and shelters in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky areas.

To date, more than 20,000 Assault Survivor and Domestic Violence Kits have been distributed serving hospitals and shelters in Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren Counties in Ohio. Kentucky counties receiving kits include Boone, Campbell, Kenton and Mason.

Many first year college students depend on grants and financial aid for their tuition leaving little money for school supplies. Back-to-School Kits for students at four regional colleges are filled with essential items such as a calculator, dictionary, flash drive, paper, pens, stapler and other basic school items.

A partial tuition scholarship is awarded to a highly motivated, qualified area student who has financial need.

Essential new household items such as dishes, pots and pans, bedding and small appliances are delivered to several local women's shelters for distribution to victims of domestic violence who are establishing a household away from their abuser.
