Assistance League of Las Vegas is an amazing non-profit organization that provides goods and services to children in need by members who are not paid, who offer their helping hands over and over again to benefit others. The rewards for serving with Assistance League of Las Vegas come back two-fold again and again. Members not only serve others, but have the opportunity to further develop their own skills and create new interests with the help and encouragement of other members. I am so proud to be a member who welcomes children who come to us for new clothing and other items. I am proud to be a puppeteer who preforms a skit about blindness to educate third grade students about this disability. I am proud to help facilitate the ongoing operation of Assistance League of Las Vegas. I would encourage everyone who desires to help others to take a look at joining us!

I am a retired teacher and I missed the children until I found out about Assistance League of Las Vegas. I knew of the Operation School Bell but did not connect the two until I went to a meeting and discovered just how wonderful it was. I have been volunteering for over 2 years now and will continue as long as I am able. It is a total delight to see the joy on the faces of the children when they are able to pick out new clothes, many of them have apparently been dressing is hand-me-downs exclusively. Their tales of where they live and the family circumstances would break your heart. Last school year we clothed 8,101 children and we are on our way to at least that many this year provided we do not run out of funds to pay for the clothes, school supplies, books and other items we donate. I am so delighted with all they do and what a lovely bunch of ladies they are.

I have been a member of ALLV since 2009. I have met the most caring and devoted women. We have dresed over 8,100 children in 2011 thru Operation School Bell. Make a Difference Day we collected over 37,000 books to be delivered to Clark County Schools. I am very proud to work with such a dedicated group of women. They are trying to make a better life for these children to aspire to.

I have been involved with one of thier programs Operation School Bell for 5 years. Last year we dressed 8,101 children with brand new clothing, shoes, health kits and school supplies. Our organization is 100% volunteer. I heard recently from a manager at Office Max (one of our community volunteers) that 97% of all funds raised go to the children that we service. There is no organization to my knowledge that has that trck record. we also have Assitance League Closet which 47 local schools have a budget and we buy items of clothing that they keep in a closet and clothe emergency cases. We have a reading program at a local school. Kids on the Block is a educational puppet program that adresses bully, hadicaps and etc. Layette Program that provides layettes to low-income expectant parents at the county hospital. Our bear program provides stuffed teddy bears to traumatized children These bears are given to police, firefighters and other groups that deal with these children. There are many other things that this group does as well and this group is awesome.

I have been a member since 2003. I find raising money through running a Thrift shop is a lot of fun. Our money is used to help support our Operation School Bell. The program provides new clothing to children whom our school district has sent to us. We also participate in Kids on the Block, a puppet program for third graders. this program discusses timely issues, such as bullying, divorce, and disabilities.

I have been a member for 16 years! This organization is extremely efficient and well run by all volunteers with no paid staff! All donations go directly to our programs. Operation School Bell provided new school clothing to 8,101 children in need last year! The children are transported to our facility by the School District where they are assisted one-on-one by a trained volunteer to select their clothing and other essentials. We also provide an opportunity for non-member volunteers from the community to help us clothe children, and they find it a most rewarding experience.

I consider it a privilege to be associated with this organization and to work with women who generously give of their time and talent day after day to help Assistance League meet its mission of enhancing the lives of children in need in the Las Vegas Valley. Being a member is is a big commitment...the work can be hard and the hours long, but the rewards are many. I'll never forget the first shift I worked in Operation School Bell helping a child "shop" for new clothing who said he had never had anything "new" before and when he learned that he could choose any shoes he wanted you would have thought it was Christmas morning! The smile on his face, the thankful hug received and the sense of pride I felt in knowing that I helped make that happen...that's what Assistance League is all about!

I love this organization and all the great ladies who volunteer here. We served so many children and families in need. I feel a sense of pride to be a part of this great organization. What I give is small compare to what I get back in return; friendship and a sense of belonging. I also learn a lot being with this diverse group of ladies who are smart, dedicated, driven and giving. If you are looking for a place where you can make a difference, this is the one to join.

I have been a member since 2003. I never knew the rewards involved with giving back until I joined. Wow there is no greater experience. We do Operation School Bell and the school bus arrives and children from first to six grades show up and these children come in and we try on brand new clothes and we supply them with 2 brand new outfits including underwear, socks and one new pair of sneakers. They get a healh kit, school supplies a book and lunch. When children are homeless we get their sizes and we make a package of all the things that I listed above and they are delivered to the school. We give memory boxes to parents who have lost their child at birth. We deliver books to the schools that are written in english and spanish so the children can take home a book. Our group are all volunteers and no one gets a salary except the janitor. We have a thrift shop and the funds we get go toward all programs. After one operation school bell one of the boys I clothe was on his way back from the bathroom said to me "Thanks for buying me these new clothes". You can't buy that feeling of making a child happy. I am so proud to be a member.

Assistance League of Las Vegas is a local organization made up of volunteers who are committed to making over 8,000 children in Clark County schools feel good about themselves through our School Bell Program that supplies children with brand new clothes, shoes, health kits, and school supplies. In addition to our School Belle Program, we also have clothes closets in over 30 schools for emergencies, such as no jacket on a cold winter day, socks and underwear and other clothing needs. We also have a tutoring program in a local elementary school. If anyone is interested in joining an organization that will make you proud, then Assistance League of Las Vegas is the one!
