Kilkenny, MN 56052
An 82-year-old woman with ALS recently moved from the Twin Cities to live with her daughter in Kilkenny. She had 2 ALS Association volunteers visit her in her old home and would really love to have visitors in her new location. It would be most helpful for volunteers to simply visit and provide companionship, but there also may be opportunities to help with light housekeeping, reading (she has low vision), etc. Scheduling can be flexible based on what works for the volunteer: if you'd like to help a neighbor in need, we'd love to hear from you!

Cambridge, MN 55008
A 78-year-old man with ALS and his wife would love a volunteer to assist with a variety of tasks around their home, such as cleaning, organizing, yard work, errands, or simply visiting. Fridays would be the best days for a volunteer to visit after they finish lunch (1 pm or later). They would like a volunteer who can visit "as needed" (i.e., doesn't have to be on a consistent, set schedule). If you have any free time on Fridays, we'd love to hear from you!

Eyota, MN 55934
A 63-year-old woman with ALS and her husband run a family farm and would love a volunteer to stop by and visit with her while he is out doing farm work. They listed a variety of things that would be helpful, from cleaning and organizing to meal prep to running errands or just chatting. Monday-Friday mornings or evenings would work best for them as she typically naps in the afternoon: they would ideally like someone to visit weekly, but we can be flexible if you're available less often than that. They'd envision someone staying for 2-3 hours at a time and do have 2 "very nice" dogs. :) If you have a few extra hours a week to visit a neighbor in need, we'd love to hear from you!

Ramsey, MN 55303
A 68-year-old woman with ALS would love a volunteer to help her with yard work such as mowing the lawn or tending to her garden. Outdoor assistance is her top priority, but she would also welcome volunteers interested in helping her around the house with cleaning, dusting, and/or occasional errands (such as grocery shopping). The best times for her to have a volunteer visit would be Monday-Friday mornings or afternoons, when her husband is working and son is in school. She would ideally like a volunteer who is able to visit every other week for 2-3 hours at a time. She does have a dog in her home and asks that any volunteers wear a mask while visiting. If you have a spare couple of hours every other week to help a neighbor in need, we'd love to hear from you!

Watertown, SD 57201
An 80-year-old woman with ALS would love a volunteer to help her around the house and yard with cleaning, chores, laundry, and/or gardening. Any day of the week works for a volunteer to visit for approximately 1-2 hours at a time: afternoons would be her preferred time of day. She does have a dog and requests that volunteers wear a mask when indoors. She is seeking a "kind and understanding person who enjoys visiting and has a good sense of humor!" If this sounds like you, we'd love to get connected!
