ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF KANSAS CITY
Invite reviews
The assistance league of KC has been a very vital organization in helping the Clay Co. Children's Division in providing pretty much anything our foster children and families have needed that there were no state funds for. They provided one of my families who were about to lose their children to foster care due to having a cluttered, dirty house with cleaning supplies and rubber totes to store alot of their stuff. One of the members Joy George met me and the family at Wal-Mart and was very helpful and supportive toward the family so they did not feel ashamed. They have also provided the Children's Division with learning material such as books and DVD's to help our parent's learn positive parenting skills. They provide Christmas to our foster children and to families in need in Clay Co. They are a very important resource in our community.

None I think they are wonderful!!!!!
I have been involved with Operation School Bell for many years as a school social worker in a few surrounding school districts in Platte and Clay County. Operation School Bell is amazing!!! The children love getting to go and try on new clothes with their personal volunteer...their eyes and smiles just light up when they come back with a bag of goodies!!! They always want to take everything out of the bag and show us all of the cool clothes they receive! It never fails that they want to wear the new clothes back to school, but we try to encourage them to save their new clothes for the next few days of school. When you see those kiddos walk down the halls of the school with their new clothes on...it is priceless!!! Their self-esteem is totally positive and they are proud to look like all the other kids with cool clothes! I get tears in my eyes every time I see one of them so happy and so proud to show me their new things! This is an amazing opportunity for our students and we are extremely grateful to be able to participate in this outstanding program!!! OSB rocks!!!

I couldn't ask for anything more...they do an amazing job with all of the schools! The only thing I can think of would be to expand it to service more schools in the future! Think big!
The Assistance League sponsors "Operation School Bell" which provides new clothes as well as shoe vouchers to needy elementary school students. I have had the pleasure of accompanying students on these trips. The volunteer staff is extremely loving and helpful. The facility is clean, organized and well-maintained.
The students are delighted to receive new clothes that fit. These typically become their favorite outfits! The children are able to go to school feeling better about themselves. This opportunity also builds stronger relationships between students, parents and school staff.
The Great!
