About This Business

The Uxbridge Quaker Meeting House is the oldest building in Uxbridge Township: the Friends' Meeting House of Quaker Hill was the first place of worship built in the township in 1809, and the present board-and-batten meeting house was raised in 1820 by a group of Quakers headed by Ezekiel James. Regular services and Sunday School were carried on there until the 1920s; since then the meeting house has held an Annual Remembrance Service on the second Sunday in June at 2:30 p.m., open to everyone, with contributions gratefully accepted. The hand-hewn timber and pine pews are in good repair, a monument to the devotion of Uxbridge Township's early settlers. General information is available at 905-862-8275 or from Chair Rob Croxall at rob@uxbridgequakermeetinghouse.com.

Charities

100 Men of Scugog

100 Men of Scugog is a charitable giving circle of local men supporting Scugog-area charities. Members gather for one-hour meetings at the Port Perry Legion, where three local charities each give a five-minute presentation and answer questions; members then vote and each writes a $100 cheque directly to the winning charity. Every dollar goes straight to local charity — there are no committees, no bank account and no fees. Founded in January 2015, the group celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025 and has raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars for Scugog-area charities to date, including creating a bursary for Durham College students. New members are welcome at quarterly meetings.

100 Women Who Care Uxbridge

100 Women Who Care Uxbridge is a volunteer-run philanthropic giving circle in Uxbridge. Members each donate $100 at quarterly meetings; the group nominates local registered charities or non-profits, hears short presentations, votes, and the selected organization receives the combined donation of up to $10,000. Meetings last about 60 minutes (registration 7:00 pm, meeting 7:30-8:30 pm). One hundred percent of money raised goes directly to the selected charity, as the group is run entirely by volunteers. Recent recipients include Community Living Durham North, Progressive Life Centre, and Luke's Place.
