While this section focuses on weddings, you can incorporate Oxfam into any special day with our new gift registry through Oxfam Unwrapped. You can create a wish list for your birthday, bar mitzvah, Christmas, retirement, or any occasion you may be celebrating! Please visit www.oxfamunwrapped.ca to create your own wish list and get started!

For weddings, we are pleased to offer several ways that you can incorporate Oxfam into your special day:

'[We] feel that starting a marriage with clean water for a village and education for women is much better than crystal goblets and glossy appliances. Donating to Oxfam seems to be a way to redirect a wedding back to a celebration of community and people rather than a celebration of objects. The reaction that we got from our guests made us think that they agreed!
