25 Days Of Holiday Volunteering — Day 19: Alzheimer's Support Groups

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — 'Tis the season for giving back to your community. There are a number of ways that you and your family can help out through the holidays and help others.

Every day through Christmas, Patch will be highlighting a way you can provide compassion and resources to those in need.

Volunteer New York! makes it easy to find ways to help — through donations, supporting nonprofits and even volunteering from home.

Today’s opportunity is for Alzheimer’s Association – Hudson Valley Chapter Support Group Facilitators. The organization is seeking volunteers in Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties to create a safe, open environment where people share feelings, thoughts and experiences in a combined effort to better cope with and manage the shared problems of dementia. The association provides comprehensive training and support to facilitators to confidently run their groups.
