📰 Breaking news: $500,000 2X match opportunity

Give now while you can have your generosity matched, up to $500,000. Dear Tushar, Alzheimer's disease is the nation's largest under-recognized public health crisis — a crisis that will not end unless we all work together. That's why I'm thrilled to share that when you join the fight against Alzheimer's with your first gift today, your generous donation — in any amount up to $500,000 — can go twice as far to help provide quality care and support and accelerate vital research. Our May $500,000 Matching Gift Challenge is made possible by the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE), which has generously pledged $500,000 to the Alzheimer's Association if we can raise that same amount by June 15. Can we count on you to help us reach our goal with your first gift now? Your gift can go twice as far in the fight to end Alzheimer's. NARFE's gift along with your generous contribution today will help further our efforts to provide care and support to those affected by Alzheimer's, while accelerating the best-of-field research that can, one day, put an end to this disease. This match offer couldn't come at a more crucial time. By 2050, the number of people living with Alzheimer's is expected to nearly triple, and is expected to cost the nation as much as $1 trillion. That's why we need supporters like you to join the fight. Please make your first gift to the Alzheimer's Association now, when your gift can go twice as far to help us: Provide free resources to the millions of Americans affected by Alzheimer's, through services like our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), our website at alz.org and our education programs and support groups. Secure critical funding to advance research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's. Advocate at the federal and state levels, along with the Alzheimer's Impact Movement, a separately incorporate advocacy affiliate, to improve the lives of those touched by Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Many of NARFE's members have been affected by Alzheimer's. They understand the devastation of this cruel disease and are committed to ending it. And they're looking for partners like you. Please help us meet our goal by becoming one of our new supporters who joins us for our May $500,000 Matching Gift Challenge today. We're grateful that you've shown a commitment to our fight against Alzheimer's by joining our community. Thank you for helping us kick off this exciting match challenge, while your gift can go twice as far to help further our mission to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. Thank you in advance for your compassion, Donna McCullough Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer P.S. Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer's. Please help us unlock this crucial $500,000 match before the June 15 deadline. Make your first gift now, while it can have 2X the impact on our work to offer help and hope to all affected by this devastating disease.

Turning hunger into hope

Learn More Dear Tushar, Spiking inflation, higher rents, increased fuel costs, and the end of pandemic assistance programs are impacting family budgets. After fixed costs are paid, most working poor fall well short of putting food on the table. Last year across our three food pantries in the MetroWest/495 Corridor, almost 1,900 new families registered for assistance, a huge increase compared to 2019 before the pandemic, when we had just a few hundred new individuals and families seeking support. Residents who were once volunteers and donors are now reaching out to our food pantries for help, and we want them to know we’re here for them. Many clients at our food pantries working minimum-wage jobs say their wages can no longer keep step with skyrocketing prices of basic goods. The cost for items across the board have increased; food, housing, retail, fuel, and while we all feel the pinch, the impact of inflation disproportionately hurts lower-income families. Amelia is retired and lives on a fixed income. Amelia says her benefits are no longer paying for the basics she needs to live. “Everything is much more expensive, the groceries from the pantry help take the pressure off, and I am very grateful,” she adds. Our client’s resources, our resources, are being stretched to the limit. Grocery bills are slamming household budgets and nutrition assistance programs like ours. COVID added hundreds of new people to our food lines, many who have never been in a food line before, and we need help. Please help us Turn Hunger Into Hope With our buying power for every $1 donated, we can purchase $4 worth of food. DONATE TODAY We are very grateful to those who have supported our organization during this pandemic, donors enable us to do what we do. By working together, we can make sure everyone gets the support they need in this challenging time. Every donation counts, every dollar counts, please help us Turn Hunger into Hope. With gratitude, Paul Mina President & CEO, The United Way of Tri-County UPCOMING EVENTS Connect with us ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Researchers study blood tests to detect Alzheimer’s Results of new research showed that a blood test may be able to detect biological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s in older adults living with memory problems. While not yet available from doctors, experts say blood tests for Alzheimer’s could be easier, cheaper and more readily accessible than brain scans or spinal taps now used to detect those hallmarks.
