Wishlists & In-Kind Gifting

Wishlists:

CAWES has a year-round wishlist for items that will assist and benefit the women and children we help as they begin their journey of rebuilding. Please go our dedicated Wishlists page for further information.

In-Kind Gifting:

Due to health and safety protocols, limited resources, and capacity to store donations, we respectfully accept only new and unused clothing and toiletries. We encourage you to consider monetary donations, or gift cards when possible as they offer the greatest amount of flexibility for clients with limited resources.  For more information on donating in-kind items to CAWES, please call 403-346-5643 or email us at generalinfo@cawes.com. Alternatively, please use the Wishlists link above to view the essential items we currently need to support our clients.

All donations of $20 or over will be issued a charitable tax receipt. We are not able to issue charitable tax receipts for in-kind donations, unless a purchase receipt is provided.
