    Our organization is an entirely volunteer based organization and we are always happy to see new faces. Volunteering is great way to meet people, people who live with lupus and understand you.
    If you have lupus, you may think, “Well I’m sick…I don’t think I can volunteer.” Most of our volunteers have lupus and not only does it make us feel valuable and needed it also gets us out in our community, working towards a common goal.     There are a variety of levels at which you can volunteer and you can create your own hours. You can volunteer as little or as much as you would like.
    If you are interested in volunteering please call the office at (204) 942-6825.
    Give us a call and join our team!

    The Lupus Society of Manitoba was formed in 1988, as a small support group, which offered community support to persons affected by lupus. The need for regular support meetings was made immediate through attendance and the first election of the executive was made on June 6, 1988.
    The Lupus Society has since grown and developed with continued support services provided to individuals affected by lupus. The society became incorporated in 1991 as a charitable organization. We work actively to provide information and support to hundreds of individuals who inquire on a yearly basis. Quarterly newsletters, a complete library of books, videos and articles are available to all members to aid in discovering information about lupus and coping skills.
  With the support of members, donors and fundraising activities, the society seeks to support physicians through distribution of literature on a province-wide basis. The society is active in pursuit of its mission to provide funds annually to a number of research studies and educational programs aimed at lupus.
    Through participation in National Lupus Awareness campaigns and distributing information to the public, the society promotes greater public awareness and understanding of lupus.
