Preparing Students for Success

Through Operation School Bell®, we give underserved children in the Greater Sacramento area something every child deserves — new school clothes. Shirts, pants, jackets, underwear, shoes, and socks are distributed to over 35 targeted schools each year. For many children, it’s their first time receiving something brand new.

In 2024–25, we also sent 15,450 books home with every K–3 student in those same schools — because owning a book shouldn’t be a luxury.
