Volunteering

Sara Thompson is recognized by AARP for her leadership in creating assisted living options that empower older adults on the Key Peninsula to live with dignity and purpose.

SHIBA invites community members to volunteer and receive training to help others understand and navigate their Medicare benefits.

AARP truly offers something for everyone—whether it’s writing postcards, making phone calls, or engaging directly with policymakers. Each effort matters, and together we’re making a powerful impact.

AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2025 Washington Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors 50+ Washingtonians who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members.

Our Greater Spokane Chapter 384 continues to grow and new members are always welcome. We, the Board, are so privileged to have such an awesome membership. Since 2015, our interest in community service commitment has been to donate food to the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Recently named as AARP Washington’s volunteer president, Ron Chew has spent a lifetime following and telling the stories about Seattle's Chinatown.
