Imagine being a child and going to school in a world with shoes that are too small, shirts that have been worn by two siblings before you, and a windbreaker for a winter coat – because that’s all that your family could afford. Would you be ready and inspired to learn and study?
An outfit is certainly not going to make or break everything, but it can’t be denied that having basic needs covered – such as shelter, nutrition and clothing – helps boost a student’s self esteem, inspiration, and drive to excel.
Operation School Bell, the largest and oldest program of the Assistance League of Everett, helps students in need to meet these basic needs by providing clothing, shoes and basic hygiene kits. This amazing program provides an opportunity for low-income children and students to attend school without wrestling feelings of shame, insufficiency or embarrassment.
With 42 years of clothes-shopping and budgeting experience, Operation School Bell provides each student with 3 new outfits, a pair of shoes, a winter coat, a week’s worth of undergarments and socks, and a personal hygiene kit. A wardrobe purchased through Operation School Bell is purchased for a cost of $100 and valued at $250 retail.
This month, McClain Insurance Services supports our local Everett Operation School Bell chapter with a $25 donation for each referral made to our office. In other words: For every four customers referred to us this July for any type of personal insurance, one local child will receive a new wardrobe to start the school year right.
All you need to do is refer a friend for a simple, hassle-free and no-obligation insurance quote. If they call us and mention that they were referred by you (no worries – we ask every caller how they heard about us) we will make a $25 donation to Operation School Bell – whether they end up buying insurance from us or not.
