As of November 1, 2025, millions of Americans—including many older Pennsylvanians—may not receive their monthly food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. This disruption affects individuals living on fixed incomes, many of whom rely on SNAP to afford groceries and maintain their health.

For Rick Collins, 78, volunteering with AARP Pennsylvania isn’t just about giving back—it’s about sitting at the table where change happens. A lifelong Philadelphian, Collins has spent this year meeting with members of Philadelphia City Council alongside AARP Pennsylvania Associate State Director Yocasta Lora, advocating for PhillySaves, an automatic IRA “Work and Save” program designed to help more workers plan for a secure retirement.
AARP has tools and information to help us stay safe and feeling secure in all kinds of ways, including in our earning power and in personal money matters. Since everything is in flux at the moment, many of us have a little time on our hands to do some research, perhaps beginning with one of these links:
As the world is rallying to combat the spread of COVID-19, people are looking for ways to protect themselves. But lurking in the shadows are scammers seeking to take advantage of this situation.

When it comes to aging, there is no place like home. A 2016 survey by AARP found 76% of people age 50+ strongly agree with the statement, “I would like to remain in my current home as long as possible.” The AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities can help people do so by assisting counties, cities, towns and rural areas best meet the needs of residents of all ages. During this national health crisis, age-friendly communities offer added benefits.
April 19-25 is recognized as National Volunteer Appreciation Week. We are thrilled to introduce you to just a few of the AARP Georgia volunteers who help make our work possible. Thank you!

As AARP North Carolina Director, I am so proud to be associated with all of our volunteers across the state. You have carried forward the wonderful tradition of volunteer service that has always defined AARP. Most importantly, you made a very positive difference in the lives of older adults and their families and in the livability of our communities.Volunteers are the face of AARP at the local level.
While AARP Pennsylvania appreciates the actions that our state’s elected and healthcare leaders have taken to address the coronavirus crisis, considering Pennsylvania has one of the oldest populations in the United States and is home to nearly 126,000 people residing in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, more must be done to protect Pennsylvania’s nursing facility residents.
