My Nonprofit Reviews

I worked 25 years as a School Nurse in the Omaha Public Schools. I helped register needy children in my elementary school for the annual Operation School Bell program funded by the Assistance League. First hand I saw the benefits of their fund raising efforts as clothing, shoes, and a book was given to those needy children. Through my career in the public school system I saw more families struggling to provide for their children with the increase costs of food, gas, shelter along with job losses and an influx of immigrants with limited resources. When I retired 2 years ago I joined the Assistance League of Omaha. I feel my volunteering helps to keep Operation School Bell going. The agency strives to serve more families each year.

I am now retired after working twenty five years as a school nurse in the public school district. The Assistance League of Omaha was one of the few resources available for my school's children in need of clothing. In recent years I saw the number of children without basic clothing such as winter coats, underwear, and shoes that fit increase. Operation School Bell is just one of the programs the Assistance League provides. I saw their fund raising go to a very good cause when these families were provided these basic items. Since retiring I have joined this group to help assist families in poverty.
