🎓 Operation School Bell®

Your participation helps us raise funds for our signature philanthropic program:

• Support: Provides new school clothing and essential living needs.
• Impact: Increases self-esteem and school attendance.
• Community Benefit: Funds enable students to shop for essentials at local Fred Meyer stores.
• Benefit Area: Students from Bellevue, Lake Washington, and Northshore School Districts.

But our impact goes far beyond material goods. Operation School Bell helps children feel confident, fit in with their peers, and have the tools they need to thrive academically. New clothes, a warm coat, or a book of their own — these simple items foster self-esteem and give students the foundation for a brighter future.
