As Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati enters its 25th year of service, volunteers have installed a new leadership team to continue serving unmet needs of local women and children. The current focus is Operation School Bell®, a program outfitting students with new uniforms. Volunteers plan to measure and provide children with the right-size pants, shirts, belts, jackets and socks during two back-to-school events. Since the chapter was founded in 1998, more than 61,000 students have received school uniforms and hygiene supplies. More than 23,500 women and children affected by domestic violence and 7,000 survivors of sexual assault have received new clothes. More than 3,800 adult students in three local colleges have been provided supplies. An estimated 300,000 volunteer hours have been served.
The group meets monthly and welcomes new volunteers. Contact [email protected]. The all-volunteer organization has earned the GuideStar Gold Seal of Transparency for nine consecutive years and works closely with more than 90 greater Cincinnati public and parochial schools, colleges, hospitals and women’s shelters and other agencies to fulfill the mission of Transforming Lives through Community Programs.
