Episode 6 - Transforming Lives with Operation School Bell and the Assistance League

The Do Good Team Podcast

Imagine growing up without the essentials for school, like new clothes, and how it may affect your confidence. Our co-host Nora felt this firsthand, but a lifeline came in the form of Operation School Bell, the Assistance League’s signature program. This episode shines a spotlight on the transformative work of Operation School Bell, sharing stories from Bend Oregon and San Antonio Texas, places where the program has made a significant difference to the lives of children from all backgrounds.
Join us as we journey back in time to explore the history of the Assistance League and its Hemacinto chapter, which has faithfully served our community for over 44 years. We sit down with Barbara Fobian, Chairman of Philanthropic Programs for the Assistance League's Hemacinto Chapter, who opens up about her experiences as a retired teacher and her commitment to the Assistance League. Barbara's touching tales from the thrift shop and the unique scholarship program highlight the profound impact their work has in the community.
Finally, we delve into the heart of Operation School Bell, discussing the referral process, and why asking for help is a sign of strength. Barbara shares her personal message of inclusion and non-judgement, providing a fresh perspective for those who may feel embarrassed to ask for help. As we celebrate the power of volunteerism, we invite you to join us in spreading the love and doing some good out there. So tune in, share and remember, together, we can make a difference.
