As the AARP DC Volunteer State President, I am proud to represent 68,000 AARP members in the District, and on behalf of them and all older District residents, we are advocating for a budget that honors their dignity and needs. For the District’s FY2026 budget, our message is clear: District seniors deserve their fair share of the pie.
Give Back to Your Community With AARP!
The vital lifeline for tens of millions of Americans everywhere, including 84,150 here in the District, used for housing, groceries, gas, and the other everyday necessities will mark its 90th birthday this summer. And with that anniversary comes a responsibility to strengthen the program – and determine how we can help it age in the healthiest way. As the bedrock of retirement in America, our financial future depends on protecting Social Security for decades to come.
AARP’s Community Challenge grant program doled out $3.4 million this year across the nation to fund 260 quick-action projects to improve the lives of people of all ages.
With the holiday season right around the corner, chances are there's something about the run-up to the new year that may leave you feeling less than jolly, or possibly actively igniting anxiety and apprehension. There are many reasons why people may be feeling uneasy about the holiday season. You may not trust yourself around the punch bowl, or your wallet is feeling light. You may have had a disagreement with a family member and fear an upcoming gathering. Being alone may be getting you down. For some, their own expectations could derail the holiday spirit.

Seniors should never have to make a choice between paying for needed medication and other necessities like food or rent, and tens of millions of adults in Medicare drug plans will soon have peace of mind knowing their out-of-pocket expenses are limited every year.
