Shepherd’s Care Foundation is a not for profit organization providing housing, care and support to over 1600 seniors in a Christian, age in place environment.

As a not for profit, registered charity, we rely on our generous community to enable us to continually improve the care and environment we provide for our residents. Each resident now calls Shepherd’s Care home and we strive to provide the most home-like, comfortable and engaging environment.

Fundraising & Initiatives

Shepherd’s Care Foundation holds two signature fundraising events each year. The Annual Golf Tournament and Cake Auction are not only for a great cause, but are great opportunities to network, socialize and learn more about Shepherd’s Care.

Community giving is also something of great importance to Shepherd’s Care. Every year, staff participate in a Christmas Appeal. The Shepherd’s Care Foundation matches employees’ contributions to a selected worthwhile cause. In 2014, $3,500 was raised for local food banks in Edmonton and Barrhead.

The Shepherd’s Care Foundation, a not-for-profit incorporated company, consists of 50 individuals elected from sponsoring churches, who bring a variety of expertise to the organization. Fourteen of these members are elected by the Foundation members to serve on the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors acts as a governance board to oversee the operation of the organization in a sound and financially responsible manner. The Board of Directors also ensures that the highest quality of service is provided to all residents, and that SCF continuously lives out its mission and values as a caring, Christian environment for all residents, families and staff. 

The root of SCF’s ongoing success is the quality of the people who constitute the Foundation membership. SCF is seeking new members to play a part in championing our vision to be the leader in providing innovative aging-in-place services with excellence.

• Be expected to attend and participate in the Annual General Meeting each fall
