Another way to offer support is by purchasing Favorite Recipes, a collection by IS for ALS. The "IS for ALS" group is a fundraising team whose goal is to promote ALS awareness, raise funds for research, and support the people affected by this devastating disease. This group consists of the entire IS QA Test Team at CVS/Caremark in Woonsocket, Rhode Island whose manager proposed starting this fund for ALS.

Favorite Recipes includes delicious recipes for Appetizers & Beverages, Soups & Salads, Vegetables & Side Dishes, Main Dishes, Breads & Rolls, Desserts, Cookies & Candy and more.

100% of the funds raised from sales of this book go to our Researching a Cure Campaign.

You can also shop at Amazon.com and purchase any of the selections from our recommended resource list, which includes fiction and non-fiction books as well as DVDs about ALS. A percentage of the sale benefits the ALS Therapy Alliance.

We always welcome monetary contributions, which can be given on our Donate Online Now page.
