The Central Alberta Women’s
Outreach Society has gone through many
transitions over the years. It began in 1984 as an agency (Status of Women) devoted to
supporting women dealing with women’s Issues, including family violence. In 1988 the agency changed its name to “The Central
Alberta Women’s Outreach Society” and
expanded its focus to providing basic support
services for women and children in response
to an overwhelming need identified in the
Red Deer Community. Today, domestic
and family abuse continues as a foundation
in programming, public service, and
public education.
Priorities are established to ensure initiatives make the best use of generously contributed resources as the organization addresses their very significant mission.
Current priorities are:
• Domestic/family abuse
• Dealing with the effects of poverty on
family, especially children
• Access to appropriate affordable housing
• Assistance while working with/through
the legal system

Tools for School Program

The Outreach Centre (home of Women's Outreach) and United Way of Central Alberta presents Tools for School which aims to reduce one known barrier preventing children and youth from successful learning and participation in school. School supplies are collected and distributed to families across Central Alberta who have children in kindergarten to grade 12, who otherwise could not afford to purchase supplies. Thousands of backpacks are filled with basic school supplies to ensure students have the tools they need to succeed in school.

Your consideration of participating in the Tools for School program is greatly appreciated. Your assistance will ensure that the Outreach Centre  continues to make a difference in the lives of students and their families in Central Alberta.
