-
ONLINE – online donations can be made here via Credit Card/PayPal/Apple Pay/Google Pay, and just select the specific fund you want to support from the alphabetized drop-down menu.
-
PHONE - credit card donations can be made over the phone (by December 19) by phoning Dan at 519-725-1806 x 205 or Mackenzie at 519-725-1806 x 207.
-
E-TRANSFER – if you want to make an e-transfer donation directly from your bank account, please email dan@wrcf.ca or mackenzie@wrcf.ca (by December 19) to get the necessary information.
