HOW TO MAKE A CHARITABLE DONATION AS A HOLIDAY GIFT FOR A LOVED ONE
Your charitable donation on behalf of a loved one will support Indigenous families in the Waterloo region by enabling AO to purchase books, toys, formula, and diapers. You will receive two cards in the mail or through email: a thank you card for your generosity and a donation card as well as a charitable receipt to be presented at Christmas.
Charitable donations can be made through the link below, or by cheque mailed to 236 Woodhaven Rd, Kitchener, Ontario N2C 1V5. Along with your donation, please send the name and address of the person receiving the present (for creating the charitable receipt in the person’s name) as well as your address (for mailing the cards).
