AARP Utah Honors Carol Huffman with 2009 Andrus Award

The 2009 Andrus Award for Community Service was awarded to Carol Huffman of Salt Lake City at AARP Utah’s Volunteer Awards dinner held at the Officer’s Club at Fort Douglas at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on October 29, 2009.

The AARP Andrus Award for Community Service, established in 2002 in honor of AARP founder Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, recognizes outstanding AARP volunteers and members who make a powerful difference in their communities in ways that support AARP’s mission, vision, and strategic direction and that inspire others to volunteer. Each year the award honors one individual from each state as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.

For the last 18 years Carol Huffman has served as a Hot Meal Delivery volunteer at the Utah AIDS Foundation, delivering meals to people infected with HIV/AIDS who are home bound.

Carol is viewed as the ultimate team player by those with whom she serves. She is always willing to trade shifts or substitute for other volunteers so that clients will not miss their meals. She also helps to train new volunteers who come on board.

In addition to her duties with the Utah Aids Foundation, Carol also lends her time and efforts to seven other organizations along the Wasatch Front including Ten Thousand Villages where she serves as Board Treasurer and store volunteer, with the Good Samaritan Program, where she is a food and door volunteer, and as a Taste of the Nation volunteer with Utahns Against Hunger. Previously she provided volunteer services with Meals on Wheels, the Girls Scouts, St. Vincent's Soup Kitchen. Carol is also a former Board member of the Utah State Employees' Charitable Fund, Utahns Against Hunger, and the Salt Lake Rape Crisis Center.

Her long term commitment to service speaks to her desire to improve the community where she lives and is a wonderful example of AARP founder, Ethel Percy Andrus’ motto, “To Serve, Not to Be Served”

In addition to the Andrus Award, the AARP Utah annual awards event also recognizes other outstanding volunteers from throughout Utah who have made significant contributions to their communities.

2009 Awards for Outstanding Volunteer were also presented to:

Neil S. Harding of Salt Lake City for his more than 12 years serving as a volunteer at St. Mark’s Hospital;

Connie K. Hodson of Orem for her volunteer work with AARP’s Driver Safety Program and eleven other organizations through the Mountainlands Area Agency on Aging RSVP program;
