We're looking for an individual or a group of individuals who would be available to help the MDA Concord office on a regular basis. We need help keeping up with things like t-shirt sorting, making signs, stuffing envelopes, assembling goodie bags and all sorts of things that help us serve the thousands of families in the Bay Area living with muscle disease. We're flexible on times and activities, so if you've got limited mobility or can't lift heavy objects that's no problem at all. Also happy to work with schools or other institutions if you need credit for community service hours.
If you're interested, please contact us at sanfrancisco@mdausa.org or by calling 415-673-7500. Again, this is for our CONCORD, CA office.
Thanks for your time!

Mission Statement
MDA is leading the fight to free individuals -- and the families who love them -- from the harm of muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases that take away physical strength, independence and life. Together with our supporters, we’re helping kids and adults live longer and grow stronger.
Description
The freedom to walk, to talk, to run and play. To laugh, to hug. To eat. To breathe. Each day across the country, these everyday freedoms are taken away from kids and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases that weaken muscle strength and severely limit mobility.
MDA takes a big-picture perspective across neuromuscular diseases to uncover breakthroughs that will accelerate treatments and cures. The power in this research approach is that knowledge and information from one disease can often yield progress in others to speed urgently needed answers for families.
Here are some of MDA’s current highlights:
* Funding about 150 MDA research projects around the world
* Awarded nearly 70 MDA research grants in 2016 with a total funding commitment of more than $16 million
* Contributed to dozens of clinical trials now underway
* In 2016, the FDA approved the first disease-modifying drugs to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
