VON Oxford Community Corporation

We are a not-for-profit charitable organization that financially supports the programs and services offered by VON Oxford. VON Canada is in a sense its parent corporation and acts as the umbrella body.

As with any organization, VON Canada needs individuals to act on its behalf to carry out its objectives. These individuals are Community Corporation Volunteers. The VON Oxford Community Corporation members are Oxford County residents from all walks of life who volunteer their time.
