Volunteering with AARP has brought me considerable joy that has helped me connect to my community in a new and exciting way. I look forward to continuing for many, many years, to come!

The award will be formally presented to Britton at a ceremony on on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at Pierre’s of South Brunswick in Monmouth Junction, NJ.

This award acts as a symbol to the public that we can all work together for positive social change, says Chris Widelo, AARP New Jersey State Director. AARP has long valued the spirit of volunteerism and the important contributions volunteers make to their communities, neighbors, and the programs they serve.
