ElderCare Edmonton is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing recreational therapeutic programming for seniors in the community.

Recreation Program Volunteers take part in the on-site facilitation of our day programs. This includes many things, such as playing physical games, guiding arts and crafts, and fostering meaningful conversation with our clients.

Our Day Programs operate out of three different locations across Edmonton, and volunteers are able to work alongside their supervisor to specify which location and time works best for their schedule.

The HodgePodge Lodge is a community reuse building where people can drop off items they no longer need and take ones they do, all for free! The initiative is run by Strathcona County but the day to day operation is done by volunteers. They sort donations, put them away, tidy things up and answer questions the public has.
