"I am thrilled with Operation School Bell and all the services it provides for students and families.  Not only is it helpful to the students, but those working at Operation School Bell are dedicated, kind, and helpful.  So many students would go without clothes, etc. if it weren't for Operation School Bell.  Thank you on behalf of all the families you serve."

quote from an El Paso County public school counselor

Funding

Funding for Assistance League of Colorado Springs' philanthropic programs comes from the following sources:

• Gifts and grants
• Our thrift store named Bargain Box
• Annual Auto Show sponsored by the Colorado Springs Automobile Dealers Association (CSADA) with The Gazette newspaper as a presenting sponsor

Annual funds raised by Assistance League chapters go directly back into individual communities for programs selected by the specific chapter. The all-volunteer status of the chapter means that funds raised directly benefit the local community it serves with minimum overhead for operating expenses.
