ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION: Iowa Chapter Volunteer to Help End Alzheimer’s and Dementia with the Alzheimer’s Association The Alzheimer’s Association Iowa Chapter is looking for volunteers across Iowa to help in the fight to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. There are many different ways to get involved like helping at events, with programs like support groups and education, becoming an advocate and using your voice to spread awareness about the disease and the resources offered by the Alzheimer’s Association. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research, and just as it takes a village to care for someone living with Alzheimer’s, it takes a team to put on the Walk. There are 19 Walks across the state of Iowa in September and October including in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Sioux City and the Quad Cities. There are numerous volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups, and community service hours are available. Here are a few of the ways you can help: • • • Registration greeter Booth attendants Set-up and tear down • Water and snack stations • • • • • • Advocacy & Trial Match Start & finish line support Route monitors Photography Promise Garden attendants T-shirt distribution
