My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been volunteering for Assistance League of Norman since 2009. Through Assistance League I have made lasting friendships but most importantly, I know that I am making a lasting impact on my community. When I volunteer at Operation School Bell I can see first hand the difference it makes in the children we serve. Operation School Bell provides brand new school clothes and essential supplies to kids in need but just as importantly, it gives these kids a sense of self-esteem, self-worth, and pride.The time I spend "shopping" with a child shows them that they are worthy of nice, new things but also worthy of the time and effort put into the experience of spending time with them. They leave Operation School Bell with a smile on their face and a spring in their step. Operation School Bell fills both our hearts!

I love being a volunteer at Assistance League of Norman for Operation School Bell (OSB). Often times children come in w/ down cast eyes, won't talk much or are scared. They leave with a smile on their face and chatting away about all the new clothes they get to take home. OSB allows these children to shop with pride knowing that they are receiving brand new clothes (not just cast offs). The volunteers are so loving and welcoming to all the kids, treating them with the love and dignity they deserve.
I can't say enough about the wonderful impact OSB has on the kids in our school district who might otherwise have to go without.
It is also a humbling experience for the volunteers. It's a reminder that while we might have so much we can always do more to make someone's life better.
