What it reported doing in 2024
OPERATION SCHOOL BELLWorking in partnership with the El Dorado County Office of Education and local retail outlets the Assistance League of Sierra Foothills provides new school clothing for disadvantaged students ages 5-18 in El Dorado County. Additionally, each student is given an age-appropriate book. Too often this is the first book some of the children have ever owned.Beyond providing much needed clothing, this signature program improves self-esteem and fosters positive attitudes toward school attendance.Due to the closure of the only suitable retailer in the South Lake Tahoe area of El Dorado County. the Operation School Bell Team partnered with J.C. Penny to provide new school clothes to students in this area. Pennys advised the team of what was available, a catalogue was made, orders were placed by the students and their families, merchandise was shipped to Assistance League of Sierra Foothills volunteers who sorted, packaged and brought the clothing to the schools in South Lake Tahoe to be distributed.Along with school and community volunteers thirty-nine (39) members volunteered six hundred forty-five (645) hours to ensure the success of this program. Fifty seven (57) schools in El Dorado County participated in the program with four (4) in-store shopping events and one (1) catalogue shopping event. One thousand one hundred five (1,105) students in El Dorado County received new school clothing at a cost of $119,922.02.The Operation School Bell Team is looking forward to next year as a new retail store has opened in South Lake Tahoe and plans are to increase the amount of the clothes allowance and the number of students served in El Dorado County.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
