Throughout the year, hundreds of volunteers across Washington State and North Idaho help move our mission forward. They all have one thing in common: the desire to make a difference in the lives of people facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Help deliver local programs and services, join an event planning committee or raise your voice as an Alzheimer’s advocate. There are many ways to get involved!
