As part of the Wilmington Grand Prix weekend festivities, JPMorgan Chase is sponsoring the Chase Challenge on Friday, May 17. Partnering with the Food Bank of Delaware and AARP, JPMorgan Chase has issued a challenge to its Delaware associates to help pack 4,200 backpacks of food for the Food Bank’s children’s Backpack Program and more than 14,000 meals for seniors as a part of Drive to End Hunger, the multi-year effort driven by AARP and AARP Foundation and proudly sponsored by Chase to help fight older adult hunger.

AARP Leadership convened this week in Wilmington, Delaware to discuss issues affecting older Delawareans statewide. Delaware is aging faster than most states and a need exists to ensure the state’s aging population will age with independence and success.
