Wish List

Reducing costs through donations helps ensure we can continue to offer our essential services to women, children and teens impacted by gender-based violence.

What’s the best way to help DASO?

Monetary donations – cash, cheque or e-transfer – help us fund the areas within our operating budget where we need your help the most.

  • All amounts are welcome and eligible for charitable tax receipts. The donor’s name and mailing address are needed to process the receipt.
  • Please make cheques payable to:
    Domestic Abuse Services Oxford, 975 James Street, Woodstock, ON N4S 0A5

You can also donate to us through the secure website Canada Helps.
