Celebrate National Volunteer Week with APFED

National Volunteer Week, observed from April 20-26, 2025, is a time to recognize and encourage the invaluable contributions of volunteers nationwide.  APFED volunteers play a crucial role in advancing our mission to improve the lives of those affected by eosinophil-associated diseases. This week is a great time to join our dedicated community and make a meaningful impact.​

5 Easy Ways to Get Involved with APFED:

1. Become an APFED Volunteer: We periodically seek volunteers for short- and long-term projects in the areas of education, advocacy, and research. If you are willing and able to help, please complete our APFED Volunteer form to let us know more about you!
2. Help Us Amplify the Patient’s Voice: Your story has the power to spark recognition and create understanding. Share your eosinophilic journey and help make these conditions more visible. Your perspective can help others as better understand eosinophilic disorders.
3. Support Community Fundraising Events: Contribute to APFED’s mission by participating in or organizing community fundraising activities. Events like our upcoming Walk for HOPE not only raise essential funds to advance our mission, but also increase awareness about eosinophilic disorders.
4. Engage in National Eosinophil Awareness Week (NEAW) and Global Awareness Days: Help raise awareness during NEAW, observed this year from May 18-24. During this week, we’ll also observe World Eosinophilic Diseases Day on May 18 and World EoE Day on May 22. Take a look at special lightings that will be hosted around the U.S. for APFED’s “Light Up for Eos Awareness” initiative.
