Tools for School (T.F.S.)
The Tools for Schools program provides a basic package of school supplies to children returning to school . Parents needing assistance may apply at Central Alberta Women's Outreach Society. Please apply early as quantities are limited.
Students enrolled in year round schools can pick up backpacks from June 22 to July 24 and all other schools can pick up August 3 to Sept 11.
We ask that parents complete an application form. These application forms may be picked up/dropped off at the CAWOS office or faxed to 403.343.0302.
Consideration is made for those enrolled in year round schooling.
This program is enhanced through from the community. These donation can be in the form of cash which can be dropped off at the Outreach or supplies which can be dropped off at any of the following Red Deer locations:
- Bower Place Shopping Centre
- Parkland Mall
- Staples North and South

Volunteers for pick-ups and assembly are needed. If you would like to volunteer for the T.F.S. Program, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 403.347.2480.
