The requests for our Tools for School program this year has massively increased from previous years and we still have over 25 kids that could use some help. Unfortunately we have very minimal supplies left for our program due to the increased demand so we need your help!! If you have any extra supplies or any you could purchase and donate for our program we would greatly appreciate it!! ✏️🖍️✂️📓

Most needed items are high school backpacks, markers, glue sticks, pencil crayons, black sharpies, highlighters, dividers and zipper binders.

If you would like to send a donation via etransfer for our program please send it to [email protected] and please put your name and Tools for School in the memo. Thank you!😊

Just a reminder that the eligibility for our Back-to-School Backpack Program is limited to families experiencing financial need. We want to ensure that all students in our service area are equipped for success, and as our resources are limited we need to distribute accordingly. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Ponoka Community Members! We still have backpacks and supplies for our local students! Please note we have printed off school supply lists from all the local schools and recognize that some students don't need supplies but many only need a backpack. However, no matter what your needs are, please come on down, we are excited to set students up for success!!!
