Thank You to our Scholarship Sponsors & Donors
We’re always looking for sponsorships and donors for our Scholarship Program. The most difficult part of this program is not being able to help everyone! We would like to thank the following businesses and families for their support with dedicated scholarship grants.
The Goddard Group Foundation – Supporter Since 2008
Walton Family Foundation – Supporter Since 2012
“We have had the pleasure to meet some of the recipients and I have always been impressed with their accomplishments despite any obstacles they may have. They are determined to fulfil their educational dream & be an inspirational role model for their fellow students. We are thrilled to support young students that see a future filled with learning, joy, and hope!

Past Scholarship Recipient
Our Lunch Box Program has been in operation since 1989, one of the first of its kind. Over the years, we worked our way to delivering nutritious snacks to over 44 schools in Oakville and Burlington. In 2015, May Court initiated an Ad Hoc Committee to research the needs of schools today, and to learn where duplication of other nutritional programs occurred. For the first time, a round table of nutritional program leaders along with the Halton School Board and Oakville Community Foundation came together. The meeting was welcomed and enlightening. Decisions and new relationships were formed. All programs benefited in serving the needs of our students, without duplication or waste. For May Court, we moved toward continuing to service only the schools that were being under-served (approx. 20 schools). May Court will continue to develop other programs where students are being under-served nutritionally.
May Court loves to build relationships with other community organizations looking for volunteers to help them run their day to day operations.
Wellspring Birmingham Gilgan House: May Court Club volunteers serve in a variety of roles at Birmingham Gilgan House, such as answering phones, pick up and drive Wellspring clients to their appointments, and more. This “home-like” location for clients with Cancer is a warm & happy place.
Wyndham Manor Seniors Program: May Court volunteers spend time with Wyndham Manor residents with activities such as reading, playing board games or simply having a conversation.
Food 4 Kids: After our round table discussions on nutrition programs in schools, May Court learned that the fabulous Food 4 Kids program was looking for help. So now, May Court volunteers spend time helping them pack up nutritious food & produce that gets delivered to children who struggle to be fed over the weekend. Every Friday targeted students are given a bag filled with enough food to help feed the family over the weekend. May Court also continues to financially support this program as well.
If you are interested in supporting any of our programs through sponsorship or donation, please contact our (Sponsorship Director) and let’s start a discussion! Thank you!
The May Court Club of Oakville is part of The Association of May Court Clubs of Canada, the first service club in Canada and founded in 1898 on the eve of May Day in Ottawa, Ontario. May Court’s founder, Lady Isabel Aberdeen, the wife of Canada’s then Governor General, was a truly extraordinary woman.
