JF Norwood House Wishlist

Although E.Fry's work on JF Norwood House has been tremendous, and the changes very visible, there is still a lot of work left to be done. Funds are required to support and sustain JF Norwood House and the women and children it will be helping.

The Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa recognizes that there are people who wish to help this project, but who either cannot volunteer or who wish to donate non-monetarily. We have provided here a wishlist of items we would greatly appreciate to aid in the JF Norwood House housing initiative.

If you would like to donate items, please see our contact page to get in touch with us about how to go about donate. Thank you!
