How many individuals and families in your faith community (church, synagogue, mosque) are affected by memory related diseases, Alzheimer's, or dementia? How many of them know where to go?

Help us fill this gap and meet their needs!
Alzheimer's Association Faith Outreach Representatives (FOR) serve within their own faith communities by raising awareness, delivering educational programs, and assuring congregants have access to information and resources.
