Spring Has Sprung 2023 Wishlist

At CAWES, your donation makes a difference. We are fortunate to see firsthand the generosity from the Central Alberta Community all coming together to ensure that those experiencing violence are able to celebrate the beautiful weather with supportive people around them.

Every spring, we bring hope and are reminded of the strength this support lends to the women and children we serve. All donations are put to use immediately. The women and children are grateful for your donation as it helps to accomplish their goals and dreams for a better future.

Together, we can do so much for the women and children that are fleeing violence throughout Central Alberta. When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed. Your donation today will help transform lives.

Gift Cards
The donation of gift cards will give women the opportunity to personally shop for special occasions, birthday gifts, food, clothing, and more for their children and themselves. This simple act will give our clients a sense of normalcy and empowerment. Gift cards to shopping malls, department stores, and big box stores (i.e. Walmart) provide lots of choices and versatility for gift buying.

To donate, or for more information, please contact the Central Alberta Women's Emergency Shelter at 403-346-5643 or generalinfo@cawes.com. Please allow up to 48 hours for a member of our team to respond to messages. Unless otherwise stated donations can be dropped off on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9:30 am and 4:30 pm.
