Volunteers Needed
Sacred Hearts Physical Therapy Clinic (Washington, DC) is
a free clinic that provides aid to the poor and uninsured. The clinic is
still in need of PTs/PT student volunteers for Saturdays as well as
supplies. If anyone is interested in volunteering their time or
supplies, please contact Katie Drummond at lwsacredheartclinic@gmail.com.
Baltimore Adapted Recreation and Sports is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to providing recreational opportunities to
individuals with physical disabilities. They have year-round clinics for
adapted sports and other activities. Physical therapists are frequently
utilized, especially for assistance with positioning. For more
information on specific activities and dates, please visit their Web
site at www.barsinfo.org.
The Avon Breast Cancer Walk is scheduled for May 3-4,
2008. They depend on volunteer support to make the walk possible. In the
past, physical therapists have been on medical crew and were either in a
medical tent or out on the course. This year, there is a physical
therapy team. We can help with stretching, skin care, foot wear, and
more. If we get enough volunteer support, we can work together as a
team, rather than as individuals. There is a $65 registration fee, and
all volunteers need to commit for the full weekend. For more
information, or if you are interested in volunteering, please contact
Alison Cuneo at 202/877-1578 or alisoncuneo@yahoo.com.
Food and Friends is a local food shelter that works toward
providing nutritional meals and support to people with life altering
illnesses. As a chapter, we have a volunteer time there every first
Tuesday of the month from 5:30-7:30 pm. Anyone is welcome to join us for
all of that time or part of it. If you are interested in participating
or more information, please contact Alison Cuneo at 202/877-1578 or alisoncuneo@yahoo.com.
