One in three American adults is at risk for kidney disease.

The National Kidney Foundation Serving Maryland and Delaware is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases and raising awareness to increase the availability of all organs for transplantation.

The National Kidney Foundation needs volunteers to assist with programs, help with legislative efforts and/or participate in national surveys regarding issues affecting individuals with kidney disease. It also hosts some of the area’s most unique and prestigious events, including Kidney Walk, Santé: A Taste of Baltimore, Rappel for Kidney Health and the NKF Konica Minolta Golf Classic. If you are interested in volunteering, please e-mail or call 410-494-8545.
