BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION AARP is the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people to choose how they live as they age. AARP works to strengthen communities and advocate for what matters most to families-with a focus on health security, financial stability, and personal fulfillment. The 2021 AARP Community Challenge received 3,560 Challenge applications nationwide.

The grant will fund a WELL (Winterize, Energize, Lift up, and Love) resource fair and community cleanup in October at two locations: North College and Skyline mobile home communities.

All activities will be conducted in accordance with CDC, state and local health regulations.
