More than 200 volunteers assist Melabev staff in helping to care for the elderly participants . Some drive, some work with the elderly during meals or activities, and some do even more.
A group of unusual volunteers has been a source of Melabev fundraising and public relations for many years. The Friends of Melabev Committee, an award winning group, established the unique Virtual Dinner as well as organized the Annual "Don’t Forget Us" Walkathon. These two events alone greatly boost the total annual fundraising for Melabev and increase public awareness of Alzheimer's disease and Melabev's role in easing the burden on families who struggle with it. The committee is working hard now with fial preparations for the 30th anniversary celebrations.
