The Massachusetts CFIDS/ME & FM Association is made up entirely of patient volunteers and their families and friends, and dedicated to working and advocating for effective medical research and treatments for these illnesses that will both alleviate patient suffering and lead to a cure.

We provide information and supportive services to help patients, their families, and their loved ones cope more effectively with these illnesses. We work to educate both healthcare providers and the general public, so that CFS/CFIDS/ME and FM will be recognized and understood as real, serious, and often severely disabling physical illnesses.

We need your help to keep the Massachusetts CFIDS/ME & FM Association running smoothly and to accomplish our mission.  Please consider volunteering to help with this work.

• Opportunities are available in many areas such as: telephone support, website assistance, membership and volunteer recruiting, advertising/public relations (mailings, distribution etc.). If you would like to help in these or other areas, please contact us.

• Volunteer for one-time commitment or longer.

• Massachusetts CFIDS/ME Association provides training and on-going supervision to allow volunteers to offer support to patients/families, or to help keep our Association running. Most volunteer work may be done from home.

If you are a patient and have a little time and energy you would like to share, please contact us to volunteer. Please provide your telephone number and indicate when is a good time to reach you.  Someone will call you back.

If you are a healthy family member or friend, we also need your help. We will talk with you about your interests, skills, and how you can contribute. Remember, even a little time, put together with the efforts of others, can accomplish a great deal.
