Among our various volunteer opportunities is the VITALZ (Volunteers-In-Touch) program, which now has a new component. 👇 VITALZ volunteer drivers are needed to provide food bank deliveries and transportation for people with dementia who live alone. Help make a difference in the lives of people who have little to no support - bilingual volunteers are welcome. Call us at 858.492.4400 for more information.

Every October, we walk for those in our lives affected by memory loss - and this year is no different. As we prep for Walk4ALZ this weekend, take a look at our community and the reasons they walk. 💙

Come by our office on Tuesday, Oct 22nd for an introductory education class where you can learn about lifestyle changes and habits that everyone can use to maintain a healthy brain. Register for free here: https://lnkd.in/gQpsRMKp 🧠

We want to extend our gratitude to the Scatena Daniels Communications team for supporting us with spreading the word about free services in Spanish and how we're helping the Latino community in San Diego County. They've allowed us to reach more parts of our community through numerous media outlets and we've already seen an increase of people contacting us for support - thank you for lending a helping hand! 👏
