Thank you for letting us be a part of it!

Thanks to residents, businesses and local organizations, 190 students in Olds started the school year with backpacks, school supplies, clothing and other essentials.

The support came through donations, fundraising, supply drives and the Student Adoption Program, with 46 residents directly supporting 103 students.

This is what can happen when a community works together to meet a need!
