2023 Tools for School Campaign Launches
Back to school time is always exciting, especially when you have everything you need for learning! But not everyone has that opportunity. United Way Central Alberta and the Outreach Centre present Tools for School, which aims to reduce one known barrier preventing children and youth from successful learning and participation in school. Annually, Tools for School provides backpacks and school supplies to students in kindergarten through Grade 12 whose families have limited resources. While the school supplies included may not exactly match your school’s supply list, they’re a great start. Through support of community donors and corporate sponsors, we continue to meet the needs of children and youth in our community.
Help Tools for School be a catalyst to bring together education, public and corporate sectors.
Workplace Spotlight
Sanjel staff were up to the challenge!
Sanjel Energy Services Red Deer recently challenged their employees to some friendly competition, encouraging each team to collect the most school supplies.
Not only was this a great team engagement initiative but Sanjel Energy Services was gracious enough to match their employee giving, doubling their impact right here in Central Alberta.
Their generosity led to 73 fully stuffed backpacks for us to provide to families who have limited resources.
Are you up to the challenge?!
