Join AARP Texas as we proudly celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! This annual observance is a time to recognize and honor the rich histories, vibrant cultures, and countless contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities whose roots trace back to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Throughout the month, AARP Texas will host a dynamic lineup of events and activities across the state—highlighting the diversity, resilience, and cultural pride that shape our Hispanic heritage here in Texas.

With nearly 2.5 million members in Texas, AARP Texas strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to older Texans and their families, including health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment.

When it comes to out-of-this-world community commitment, it doesn’t get any better than AARP Houston and the World Champion Houston Astros. Thousands of fans saw that firsthand during this year’s Hispanic Heritage Weekend at Minute Maid Park. AARP Houston volunteers and staff were in full force during the three-day event, September 22, 23, and 24, which gave fans a taste of who AARP is and why we do what we do.
The new Statewide Interagency Aging Services Coordinating Council will focus on ensuring that state agencies that provide services to older adults communicate and collaborate with one another.
