Oxford
Community
Services
Directory
2010

Welcome to the 2010 edition of the Oxford Social Services
Directory. It is with great pleasure that we present this
comprehensive Directory of agencies, organizations, programs
and services available to assist those in Oxford County.
This Directory has been created in response to research
showing a lack of access to local information. Now, case
workers, front line staff, individuals and professionals have a
resource available to meet their needs as they search for
information on programs and services. It is simple to use,
easily cross referenced, thorough and convenient.
We encourage you to use this Directory and to also look to
www.informationoxford.ca as another source for complete and
up-to-date information on local services. We also ask that you
to keep your organization’s information current on the web site
which will ensure that the database is accurate for on-going
purposes. If you require help with the website please call
(519) 539-9800 x3184 or email [email protected]
If you require additional copies of this Directory, please contact
the United Way of Oxford by [email protected] to order.
If you have suggestions for future editions or require
assistance, please call (519) 539-3851.
