Assistance League of Bend is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and adults facing poverty and cancer in Deschutes County, Oregon. Through various philanthropic programs, including Operation School Bell, Cinderella's Closet, and Senior Caring, they provide new school clothes, personal care items, and handmade hats for cancer patients. With a mission to transform lives and strengthen the community, Assistance League of Bend has been making a positive impact since 1991. As the leading provider of clothing in Deschutes County, Assistance League of Bend's Operation School Bell has been helping low-income children by providing them with school clothing and emergency clothing bundles. With rising inflation, these new clothes, warm jackets, and well-fitting shoes not only boost a child's self-esteem but also help them feel more engaged in the classroom. Each year, they serve over 2,600 local children, and they rely on tax-deductible contributions to continue their important work. In addition, Assistance League of Bend is the beneficiary of the Mt. Bachelor Rotary Club's St. Patrick's Day Dash in 2024, a family-friendly event that supports local families in need while celebrating the St. Patty's Day weekend in true Central Oregonian style.Generated from the website
