Celebrating Generosity and Dedication: AARP Georgia’s Volunteer Year-End Festivities

As the year draws to a close, AARP Georgia had the immense pleasure of hosting three vibrant and spirited volunteer celebrations across the state, spreading cheer and gratitude to our incredible volunteers in Atlanta, Macon, and Augusta.

These gatherings were not just events; they were heartfelt expressions of appreciation for the invaluable contributions our volunteers have made throughout the year. At each celebration, the highlight was none other than our esteemed AARP Georgia State Director, Debra Tyler Horton. With passion and pride, Debra reflected on the remarkable impact our volunteers have had in making a difference in the lives of countless individuals. She recounted the year's achievements, highlighting the profound difference our volunteers have made in the areas of caregiving, Social Security advocacy, combating fraud, empowering work and savings initiatives, and the organization’s commitment to becoming a digital-first entity to better serve those aged 50 and above.
