Operation School Bell (OSB) provides new school clothes to nearly 5,500 Los Angeles Unified School District students from impoverished circumstances. By working with these children, we improve school attendance, promote learning and enhance self-esteem.

For the past forty-five years, volunteers for Anne Banning Auxiliary (ABA) of Assistance League of Southern California have given underserved and at-risk children new clothing to wear to school through OSB. Volunteers provide well-fitting shoes, uniforms, jackets, grooming kits, backpacks and school supplies, offering students a greater chance to succeed.

You can help us dress our city’s most vulnerable children. We can promise it will be one of the best investments you will ever make! Last year over 80% of every dollar ABA/OSB received provided services for children.

Operation School Bell provides appropriate school clothing to Los Angeles Unified School District Children from impoverished circumstances to promote learning, improve school attendance, and enhance self-esteem.

Operation School Bell is a service of Assistance League of Southern California, a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization established in 1919.

Operation School Bell/Assistance League of Southern California is proud to have earned the GuideStar Seal, demonstrating its commitment to transparency.
