Volunteering is Good for the Soul

Looking for a meaningful volunteer project? AARP Oregon has ways to give back all over the state.

Hidden Hunger br

In Oregon, we are building a network of volunteers to focus on alleviating hunger, especially senior hunger, in support of Drive to End Hunger, an initiative by AARP and AARP Foundation traise awareness of the issue of senior hunger. AARP Oregon needs volunteer organizers in every corner of our state to coordinate local activities including special events and food drives to help fill the empty pantries of our state’s food banks. Whether you have 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 days to volunteer, we need YOUR help! If you are interested, email us at .

Money Management Program br

If you can balance your own checkbook, you can help someone with theirs. The AARP Oregon Money Management Program provides financial management assistance to help low-income older or disabled adults who have difficulty budgeting, paying routine bills and keeping track of financial matters.

, the nation’s largest free, volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance service, is seeking volunteers across the state to help Oregon taxpayers who are seeking assistance preparing and filing their 2011 tax returns.
