Dressing for school can be difficult especially when it comes to finding the best clothes for the best price. Bargain Box is in the middle of its Operation School Bell which gives students 100 dollars for clothes so they can have the best fits for school.
The Bargain Box thrift store associated with the Assistance League of Bakersfield is ran by volunteers. Founded in 1956 the Assistance League has been dressing students with funds from the Bargain Box ever since, and they say they dress more than 3,000 kids each year.
