Volunteering

On Saturday, May 11th you have the opportunity to participate with thousands of AARP members to help "Stamp Out Hunger."

It takes a village to stage an amazing event like AARP's Life@50+, and we've got quite the village of volunteers ready to take on the task! More than 1,000 volunteers will be a part of the first spring event in Las Vegas, 5/30-6/1/2013! Several hundred of them joined AARP Nevada and national event staff for volunteer orientation sessions at the Las Vegas Convention Center earlier this week.

Despite the enormous wealth in our country and right here in Connecticut, more than 9 million older Americans over age 50 - and more than five percent of our state's population -face the threat of hunger. On Saturday, May 11, you can help “ Stamp Out Hunger” without ever leaving home. Just leave a bag of non-perishable food by your mailbox and your letter carrier will pick it up and deliver it to a local food pantry. It's that easy!
