Join a Circle of Care group and help an ALS family and their primary caregiver. Ways to help include making a meal, shopping, writing a letter, reading to a PALS (Persons with ALS), making phone calls, and gardening.
Participate in events. The Walk to D’Feet ALS ®, Golf Tournament, our educational Ask the Experts programs and other events need help with set-up, registration, decorations, refreshment tables, and volunteer management.
Pick up and deliver medical and computer equipment for PALS. We especially need helpers with trucks. Required time is very flexible; we try to have pickups and deliveries as close to you as possible, and the need is great.
Provide PALS with transportation to medical appointments, support groups, etc.
Call patients (10 calls per month maximum).
Friendly Visitors - drop in to bring needed items, flowers, books or magazines, and to visit briefly with PALS.
Pals for PALS - run errands, perform household or yard tasks, prepare a meal, form a team to do larger projects like painting, repairs, etc.
Assist with advocacy efforts. Activities might include writing letters or making phone calls from home, or visiting congressional representatives and interested parties to further ALS priorities. Our National Advocacy Day and Public Policy Conference takes place in Washington, D.C. each year in May.
Help with outreach efforts. Deliver Posters/Brochures around town; attend outreach events (health fairs, civic groups, etc.).
Assist in the Chapter office. Volunteer your time and talents in the office doing clerical and administrative work, which may involve mailings, phone calls, and data entry.
