For 90 years, Social Security has been a promise kept to generations of hardworking Americans. Recently, AARP joined communities across the country to celebrate that legacy, while rallying public support to protect its future.
Nine entities in Georgia received 2025 AARP Community Challenge grants, ranging from $2,000 to $25,000 and totaling nearly $110,000. Projects focus on disaster preparedness, home safety, internet access and digital literacy.
More than half of private-sector workers in Georgia — about 2.1 million people — don’t have a workplace retirement savings plan. And more than half of respondents in a recent poll are very or somewhat anxious about having enough money for retirement.
