ALS Support Groups
Dealing with ALS is physically, emotionally and financially devastating. ALS Support Groups provide a caring, supportive, and open environment for people to gather, connect, and talk with one another. These groups are open to people living with ALS, their families, caregivers and friends. They provide everyone with opportunities to establish a network of valuable resources and sustained support. Our Chapter offers many support groups for both patients and caregivers. Click here for a complete list. Each meeting and will have speakers on relevant topics combined with time for attendees to share information and provide feedback to one another.

Donate Equipment
The ALS Association DC/MD/VA Chapter greatly appreciates donations of durable medical equipment (DME), respiratory equipment, and communication devices for use in our Equipment Loan Program. The Program offers temporary loaner equipment, including speech generating devices, to area residents with a verified diagnosis of ALS who are uninsured, underinsured, who cannot access their insurance (while in a nursing home or hospice) or who are waiting for insurance approval.
For equipment donations, please contact us at 301-978-9855.
We will provide an acknowledgment letter to each donor for tax purposes once the donation is picked up by the DME companies that store and maintain our equipment throughout the state, and NuMotion.
Numotion graciously donates their time and services to help us fulfill our Equipment Loan Program, providing temporary loaner equipment to area residents in need with a verified diagnosis of ALS.
