Thank You for Supporting Seniors in Need Disaster Relief

Hope for Disaster Survivors of Hurricane Florence & Hurricane Michael

When disaster struck you responded -- and we are so grateful

When disasters devastated communities in the Southeast earlier this year, we issued an urgent call for help. Before 2018 ends, here is an update on how donor gifts are making a difference in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael. Thanks to donors like you, we have distributed grants totaling more than $2,100,000 for recovery efforts across North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. That total includes $1 million in matching contributions from AARP and AARP Foundation ($500,000 for each emergency) plus the gifts of thousands of concerned neighbors like you.

In collaboration with AARP Foundation field offices and AARP state offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia, AARP Foundation has worked to identify community-based groups with a focus on helping vulnerable older adults. Emergency grants have been made to 24 organizations, including those listed below, to help provide food, home repair, legal advocacy, and support as the affected communities continue the long rebuilding process.
