Student Services

OPERATION SCHOOL BELL®

Our signature program, Operation School Bell has provided new school uniforms to 4,130 students during this current school year. Assistance League has aided the children in most need in 42 public and parochial schools throughout the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky areas. Each school uniform consists of short and long-sleeved shirts, pants, socks, underwear, a belt, and a fleece jacket. Individuals and grantors enthusiastically support this program, which directly impacts a child by providing an essential need - clothing.  More than 38,000 children have participated since 1998.

Kinship/Foster Care

Our Kinship/Foster Care initiative serves foster and kinship families by providing diapers, baby wipes, socks and undergarments for boys and girls ages new born thru age 18 who have been evaluated in the CHECK units of Children’s Hospital Medical Center.  Most often, children who leave their families and transition into foster care have very little.  Often times, they come with just the clothes they are wearing, which is why this initiative is so critical. Providing the necessities and resources for families allows them to focus on the emotional needs of their loved ones during transitional and tragic circumstances.

At this time 1,278 kinship relatives or close friends who foster children received assistance since its inception in 2017.  An expansion of this service is being implemented currently through Jack’s Closet.

College Starter Kits

The many and mounting costs of receiving a college education can be overwhelming to a student who has the motivation to achieve, but not the funds to provide all that is needed. In this program, Assistance League works with college counselors who have identified students in need. Essential items of paper, pens, staplers, flash drives, notebooks, etc are packed throughout the summer and distributed to students at local area colleges. 3,401 disadvantaged students entering college have participated to date.
