Are you creative? Do you enjoy conversing with interesting people? Do you like helping others? If you do, this is the opportunity for you!
A 58 year old ceramics artist living with ALS and her husband need a little extra help around their house and her studio. They’re looking for weekly help with housecleaning and home upkeep. They’re chatty individuals who would work alongside the volunteer.
Volunteers can choose to make a weekly commitment for either 2.5 hours (one task) or 5 hours (both tasks).
This opportunity is part of our family assistance program. Find out why this program rocks and how you can be a part of it by visiting our website [tinyurl.com/ALS-FAP] or by contacting Laura Winterstein, volunteer coordinator, at 888-672-0484 or laura@alsmn.org.

What is ALS?

There is no known cause or cure for ALS. People with ALS typically live between two and five years after being diagnosed.
