Calendar Event Sorting
At the top, the 24/7/365 SAMHSA Disaster Helpline and similar links.
Next, Bundled “All Day” Events
Some organizations (like 12 step recovery programs, AA, NA, AlAnon, etc.) have so many events happening throughout the day that they need to be in a bundled listing to spare endless scrolling. Often there is a link to look up events by zip code and other criteria.
Lastly, Time-Specific Events
So you can see what’s happening in the next hours, time specific events are tagged and listed by start time from 12:01am early morning to 11:59pm late night. There can be events and warmlines operating in different time zones, though we try to list all in Oregon’s Pacific Time Zone.

About Alzheimer’s Association
The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980 by Jerome H. Stone and a group of family caregivers who saw the need for an organization to unite caregivers, provide support, and advance research into the disease. It is headquartered in Chicago with chapters in communities nationwide.
The Association’s mission is to lead 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.
As the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer’s research, the Association serves people living with dementia, caregivers, and families across the country through its 24/7 Helpline, local chapters, education programs, and support groups.

About Alzheimer’s Association
The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980 by Jerome H. Stone and a group of family caregivers who saw the need for an organization to unite caregivers, provide support, and advance research into the disease. It is headquartered in Chicago with chapters in communities nationwide.
The Association’s mission is to lead 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.
As the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer’s research, the Association serves people living with dementia, caregivers, and families across the country through its 24/7 Helpline, local chapters, education programs, and support groups.

About Alzheimer’s Association
The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980 by Jerome H. Stone and a group of family caregivers who saw the need for an organization to unite caregivers, provide support, and advance research into the disease. It is headquartered in Chicago with chapters in communities nationwide.
The Association’s mission is to lead 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.
As the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer’s research, the Association serves people living with dementia, caregivers, and families across the country through its 24/7 Helpline, local chapters, education programs, and support groups.
