Each day, thousands of Delawareans serve as caregivers for family members. These family caregivers often have full-time day jobs; they return home from work to provide evening care, or dash home at lunch to check in on loved ones. They provide trusted care to those they hold most dear—an emotionally challenging, but critical, role in our society.

AARP Virginia had fun on purpose at Almost Christmas, Movies for Grownups screening. A total of 70 guests shared laughs, popcorn and bottled H2O at the Downing Gross Cultural Arts Center. The movie was a chance for AARP members and non-members to enjoy an afternoon free of the holiday shopping frenzy. This event allowed AARP Southeast Virginia to introduce all the great ways the 50+ plus community can be engaged and empowered through campaigns and events.
