Nonprofit steps up for needy children
For Del Rio Elementary School kindergartner Areana Ortega, it was an unusual field trip not an educational one,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but an opportunity to get a new pair of sneakers.
The Oceanside student was pulled out of class before the holidays to visit Payless ShoeSource with 40 other disadvantaged children to select footwear through a program financed by the Assistance League North Coast.
The Assistance League, a nonprofit that takes on philanthropic projects in Oceanside,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Carlsbad and Vista, supplied 1,187 pairs of shoes last academic year to schoolchildren in those communities, and expects to surpass that mark this year.
As part of Operation School Bell, the Assistance League also provided 659 school uniforms to Oceanside students last school year and hygiene kits to 1,540 children in all three communities.
The agency has also contributed emergency clothing sweat pants, sweat shirts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], underwear and socks for accidents or children who arrive on campus inadequately clothed. They stored in the nurse quarters or the front office.
Oceanside schools Superintendent Ken Noonan said the outreach effort gives students the confidence to come to school.
have children who are embarrassed to go to school because they don have clothes or shoes that fit, Noonan said. have families living with kids in garages. Those folks are dirt poor, and sometimes our working parents are between jobs and don have money. Shoes especially are an issue because the kids grow out of them faster than other articles of clothing. Assistance League spends more than $80,000 annually to support Operation School Bell, which has been around locally since 1992. The money is raised through an Oceanside thrift shop, an annual fundraising luncheon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], grants and donations. The league has about 85 volunteers.
One of the most popular programs, Footsteps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], supplies the area neediest children with shoes.
The children are selected for the shoe store outings by teachers and health clerks. They arrive at Payless an hour before it opens and are paired with league volunteers to select shoes and socks.
On a recent outing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], volunteers partnered with children from North Terrace Elementary in Oceanside. Some adults had to be vigilant about steering the young girls away from inappropriate footwear selections such as high heels or silver-sequined dress slippers.
is just so exciting, said second-grader Kiana McBride, whose father is in the Navy and mother is a homemaker.
one income,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], things are kind of hard right now, said Kiana mother,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Veronica Fondevilla, who used to be in the Navy. trying to make it work with one income,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so I think programs like this are amazing, and I just appreciate the volunteers so much. children were also issued hygiene kits filled with shampoo, soap, a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss and a hairbrush.
kids were jumping up and down and saying,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the first time, I can own my own toothbrush,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said Carole Roberti, the league public-relations chairwoman. heard this many times. Operation School Bell, the Assistance League sponsors several programs. Home Alone is a 45-minute presentation to third-graders focused on awareness of strangers and how to stay safe when alone at home and in the community.
Baby Real Deal supplies computerized infant dolls to schools so teenagers can experiment with parenting challenges,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The league also finances books for school libraries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], clothing and supplies for Camp Pendleton schoolchildren, and layettes for teenage mothers.
For adults, the organization visits the Rancho Vista Retirement Community in Vista to host monthly bingo games, and provides clothing, counseling materials and baskets to battered women with the Women Resource Center.
Roberti said the Footsteps program is one of her favorites because it heartwarming to assist the children and witness their reactions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
run into children who are wearing shoes two and three sizes too big,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she said. often got them from somebody else. Some are wearing shoes with the backs broken down. And some will say it the first pair of new shoes they could ever pick out.相关的主题文章:
