Assistance League of Bend holding its first ‘Bling It On’ shopping fundraiser

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Assistance League of Bend is holding their first “Bling it On” shopping fundraiser to help support Operation School Bell® program, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at North Rim Lodge, 1500 NW Wild Rye Circle in Bend.

Shop from a wide selection of gently used jewelry, scarves, and handbags, including designer items.

For over 30 years, Operation School Bell is the signature program of Assistance League of Bend and has enabled thousands of vulnerable Deschutes County school children to go to school with confidence and self-esteem wearing new clothing.

Students are referred by the local Family Access Network (FAN) and Assistance League of Bend administers the program. Financial support is made possible through grants, fundraisers, and donations from the supportive and generous people within the community.

Assistance League of Bend is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization making a difference in the lives of children in Central Oregon for over 30 years. Please visit their website www.assistanceleague.org/bend for more information or to donate.
