Threads2Thrive
Threads2Thrive (formerly known as Operation School Bell) provides new clothing, shoes, health supplies, books, and other essential items to local K-12 students in need.
For many children, this may be the first time they’ve had a new pair of shoes, a warm jacket, or a toothbrush of their very own. Teachers often share that new clothing has a remarkable ability to boost self-esteem, encourage regular school attendance, and enhance academic performance. By offering these essential items, Threads2Thrive helps remove barriers to learning and ensures that every child has the opportunity to feel confident and supported in their educational journey.
