The ALS Volunteer Connection

A new and exciting service is being offered through The ALS Association (ALSA) Michigan Chapter. The ALS Volunteer Connection is a state-wide program that has been established to help improve the quality of life for PALS and caregivers. We understand that the role of the caregiver is not easy and can quickly lead to caregiver burnout. It is important to realize that one must take care of himself in order to take care of another person. The aim of the volunteer program is to match volunteers with caregivers in their area to allow caregivers to have some time to themselves. Caregivers may submit a Caregiver Request form and mark off tasks they would like the volunteer to assist with including errands, preparing meals, companionship, and more. If interested in receiving a request form, caregivers can call 866-927-CURE. We are very excited to provide this program and believe it will be of great assistance to those involved.
