AARP Florida is making a difference where you live.
As we enter a new season, AARP continues to show up across Florida as both a wise friend and a fierce defender. Our mission remains rooted in protecting the interests of older adults and ensuring that every Floridian can age with dignity, security, and purpose.
Do you know an extraordinary volunteer age 50+ who is making a significant difference in your community? AARP Florida wants to honor them!
AARP Florida is expressing strong concerns about Florida Power & Light’s (FPL) newly filed settlement agreement, noting that it prioritizes corporate and business interests over the needs of residential customers.
As the 2025 hurricane season ramps up in Florida, older adults and family caregivers face a critical responsibility: ensuring safety for themselves and their loved ones.
Music, food, laughter, and new friendships filled the room as more than 150 Palm Bay neighbors came together on September 23 for the Senior Appreciation Celebration. Hosted by the AARP Palm Bay Chapter in Brevard County, the free community event offered an afternoon of live music, raffle prizes, resource tables, and even an arts & crafts workshop.
As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.
