Seniors' Society, Renfrew-Collingwood

Vancouver, Canada

http://www.rencollseniors.ca/

Renfrew-Collingwood Seniors’ Society was incorporated as a not-for-profit, charitable organization on October 19, 1976. During its early years, Renfrew-Collingwood Seniors’ Society was devoted to providing recreational, social and leisure activities and services to community seniors.

Locating a constant funding source was a continual challenge, and after an arduous battle, Renfrew-Collingwood Seniors’ Society obtained a contract to operate an Adult Day Program three days per week with secure funding from the Ministry of Health. The City of Vancouver provided a community service grant to offset the costs of the other two ‘community days’.

Currently Renfrew-Collingwood Seniors’ Society is still under contract to Vancouver Coastal Health Authority for ADC services and receiving funding from the City of Vancouver. In addition, SMART funds provide for a “Wheels to Meals and Congregate Lunch” program.
