The Share the Plate recipient for July is the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter.

The Alzheimer’s Association leads 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. Currently, more than 29,600 people in Maine are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and over 51,000 caregivers provide 87 million hours in unpaid care.

The Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter serves all those facing Alzheimer’s and other dementias, including those living with the disease, caregivers, families, and health care professionals across the state. They offer regular educational programming and local support groups. At their Scarborough office they additionally provide free care consultation services. In and outside of the state, the Alzheimer’s Association advocates for the needs and rights of those facing dementia. They work to advance critical research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.
