Communit Charities Listing

Community Charities Serving Oakville

Listed below are local charities which have either been nominated in past, OR presented to us at a meeting OR been awarded the Charity of Choice* at the meeting they presented at (purple font).  

 

We encourage everyone to learn more about these wonderful services in our community. 

Members are encouraged to identify a charity which speaks to you and endorse it in the meeting nomination process so they might be awarded as our Charity of Choice.

​

While the list is updated regularly by our volunteers we may have missed someone.  And of course, this is by no means a fulsome list of all the amazing agencies in our community.  If you know of an agency not listed which we should be aware of, please reach out by emailing our volunteer leadership team.
