Volunteers Needed for AARP Day of Service in Baton Rouge

AARP Louisiana and AARP Foundation are mobilizing volunteers to assemble and distribute thousands of bags filled with emergency preparedness supplies to families in Baton Rouge. Each bag will contain things like water bottles with a built-in filter, first-aid kits and blankets, along with useful recovery tips and resources.

But we can’t pack all those bags without your help. AARP members are always quick to help those in need, and we’re counting on you to answer the call again.

You can register to volunteer online HERE or by calling 1-844-418-2281.

Then join us at the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging, 6955 Florida Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA 70806 on September 11 from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. to make a difference in your neighbors’ lives. Lunch will be served.

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed at the check-in station and provided a t-shirt. You will be grouped with a packaging team of other volunteers at a production table. You will be assembling disaster kits for families in your community.

Clean, relaxed, casual clothing and comfortable closed-toe shoes are recommended.

Leave your valuables and jewelry at home or where you are staying. There are no storage areas for valuables and we cannot assume any liability for loss of valuables at or during the event.
