This outpouring of support, together with a matching gift from AARP and AARP Foundation, has allowed us to distribute a total of $1 million to the following organizations that are helping residents get back on their feet – many of them with a special focus on helping vulnerable older adults:
- Salvation Army Southeastern Territory
- Habitat for Humanity of Louisiana
- Louisiana Association of United Ways
- Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank
