It's Volunteer Appreciation Week and today our Volunteer highlight is 🌟 Danuta V. 🌟!

Since 2018, Danuta, has been a dedicated and valued volunteer with the Alzheimer Society Grey-Bruce contributing time, creativity, and compassion across several meaningful programs.

Danuta’s volunteer journey began with the “This Somebody is Me” project, where she interviewed clients and brought their personal stories to life through thoughtful, engaging writing. With a long standing interest in personal histories, this work was a natural and rewarding fit.

More recently, Danuta has supported our Minds in Motion and Active Living programs, continuing to build strong connections with participants. Each year, she also lend a helping hand at our two major community events SOUP’S ON and the Walk for Alzheimer’s, helping ensure these important celebrations run smoothly.
Now retired, volunteering has offered a fulfilling way to stay involved and connected.

“I enjoy the social, positive side of working with people,” Danuta shared. Community programs are worthwhile, and I’m happy to be a part of that.” Feeling valued is what keeps her coming back. “It’s a good community of people,” Danuta says. “I truly feel valued as a volunteer with the Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce.”

We are grateful for Danuta’s ongoing commitment and the generosity she brings to our community. Thank you for helping make a difference, one story, one program, and one connection at a time. 💙

It's Volunteer Appreciation Week and today our Volunteer highlight is 🌟 Sally G.🌟!

For nearly 20 years, Sally, our incredible volunteer has been giving her time, heart, and humour to the Alzheimer Society Grey-Bruce, and making a meaningful difference every step of the way.

It all started at the annual Walk for Alzheimer’s, held in a high school during the winter. Wanting to avoid crowded hallways, Sally chose to walk outside instead. To spark donations, she made a personal promise: walk 1 kilometre for every $100 raised. With an original goal of $1,000, she has gone above and beyond every single year, thanks to the incredible generosity of the community.

Beyond the Walk for Alzheimer’s, Sally has volunteered in many ways, supporting SOUP’S ON, the Minds in Motion program, home visits, and helping in the office.

Her motivation is simple but powerful: “If I can make even a wee difference, help someone smile or laugh, and see the person behind the dementia cloak, it’s worth it.” Sally’s journey into volunteering began with a neighbour’s suggestion. When asked “why me?”, the answer was clear, she had a natural gift for connecting with people living with dementia. Taking that advice to heart, Sally discovered a deep sense of joy in helping others relax, laugh, and sometimes uncover beautiful stories and memories that had been hidden.

By listening, really listening, she has helped people feel cared for and valued. Each visit brings something new to learn whether its: family milestones, special honours, favourite books, and personal history reflected throughout the home. Sometimes conversation flows freely; other times, a quiet presence is exactly what’s needed.

Sally’s advice to anyone thinking about volunteering?

✨ Be yourself
✨ Listen to people’s stories
✨ Go with the flow and follow their lead

When you listen, people know you care, and their stories are truly amazing.

Thank you, Sally, for nearly two decades of compassion, commitment, and community impact. 💙

At just 11 years old, Scarlett Rose Fleming is already making a meaningful difference in her community, and she’s inviting you to be part of it!

Inspired by her Great‑Grandmother's kindness and lifelong dedication to bringing joy to others through volunteering, Scarlett has poured her creativity and compassion into handcrafting beautiful crafts, with purpose. Her Great‑Grandmother Rose was diagnosed with dementia shortly after she was born and sadly passed away in 2025, but her legacy of giving lives on.

💐 Join Scarlett at the upcoming Spring Craft Show at Eastridge Community School! There will be over 60 vendors, including handmade crafts and popular home-based businesses, a large bake sale, and games.

Every item is crafted with heart, and 100% of proceeds support the Alzheimer’s Society Grey-Bruce. Scarlett hopes to help people feel joy, just like her Great‑Grandmother did, and your support helps make that possible.

✨ Stop by and support the Alzheimer Society Grey-Bruce.
📅 Saturday, April 25th, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
