Neighbors, helping neighbors thrive.
Assistance League of Downey is an all-volunteer nonprofit turning time, talent and thrift-shop proceeds into new clothes, scholarships, and support for local kids and families.
Building confidence, one wardrobe at a time.
Operation School Bell
New clothes are only the start. For a child who has never had a coat of their own or a fresh pair of shoes, showing up dressed like everyone else changes how the school day feels.
- New outfits, shoes, and hygiene basics for local students
- Built to lift attendance, confidence, and performance in class
- Delivered directly through Downey Unified school partners
