Nominated charities MUST

The 3 charities chosen to pitch our members at our quarterly meetings are chosen randomly in a draw. Charities not chosen as the Charity of Choice can be nominated for the dram repeatedly without restrictions.

Examples of Charities Serving Oakville
Listed below are SOME of the local charities which we know of because they have been nominated in past, presented to us at a meeting and/or been awarded the Charity of Choice* (those in purple font, as per those listed above).
We encourage everyone to learn more about these wonderful services in our community.
Members are invited to identify a charity which speaks to them and to nominate it to present at a meeting where we vote for one Charity of Choice.

If you know of an agency not listed which we should be aware of, please reach out by emailing our volunteer leadership team.
