AARP Eye Center
Shreveport’s Orlisa Johnson was named 2023’s recipient of the AARP Louisiana Andrus Award for Community Service, the highest state volunteer recognition.
Johnson, 62, regularly prepares home-cooked meals for older adults, supports women veterans and volunteers at a senior center.
A former teacher and Air Force reservist, she also helps families of homeless veterans and is a Girl Scout troop leader.
AARP donated $1,000 to the nonprofit Women Veterans of the Ark-La-Tex in honor of Johnson.
