Art League of Lincoln<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=\u201dAssistance League of Greater Placer\u201d]With the help of a grant from the Lincoln Community Foundation, Assistance League of Greater Placer is able to expand its \u201cOperation School Bell\u201d program which provides vouchers to help buy new school clothing for children in need. The program began in 1992 and serves public school children in need ranging from Head Start through 12th grade within the Greater Placer communities. Special shopping days are set up and a parent or guardian and one of their wonderful volunteers help the children pick out appropriate school clothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor many of our kids, this is the first time they have been able to choose their own new clothing for school. It is heart-warming to watch the almost instant change in their self-confidence as they shop! This improved self-image carries over into classroom behavior and academic performance.\u201d \u2013 Anne Thompson, Grants Committee, Assistance League of Greater Placer<\/em><\/p>\n

It is part of the Golden Empire \u2013 Council of the Boy Scouts of America and a member of the Discovery District, which covers most of Placer County. Our mission is to instill values in young people and prepare them to make ethical choices during their lifetimes, to take leadership roles as adults and to reach their full potential. Those values are based on character, citizenship, personal fitness, and are found in the Scout Oath and Law. We accomplish our mission in partnership with our chartered organization \u2013 Kiwanis Club of Lincoln Foundation \u2013 and chosen, well-trained leaders. We offer young people responsible fun and adventure, much of it through hiking and camping. We instill life values in young people and help them develop ethical character. We train young people in citizenship, service and leadership. We serve the Lincoln, CA community and family with quality values and have done several service projects for groups such as the Salt Mine, Fruitvale School and Mount Pleasant Hall.<\/p>\n
