AARP Tallahassee Presents: Home, Simplified Series 

Home is where life happens—and for many in Tallahassee, it’s also where memories, responsibilities, and important personal information are kept. As needs and priorities shift, staying organized, safe, and protected at home can feel challenging. This April, AARP Tallahassee invites you to a free, three part series designed to help you take practical steps toward greater comfort, security, and confidence. These events offer clear guidance, supportive conversation, and easy actions you can take to protect what matters most—your space, your information, and your peace of mind.

Every event you attend brings you closer to winning exciting prizes. By participating in the Home, Simplified Series Sweepstakes, you’ll earn entries just for showing up and taking action—plus enjoy perks like priority shred access at our Home: Shred It and Forget It event. Whether you join us for two events or complete the full series, your commitment to a simpler, safer home could pay off in a big way.

Home, Simplified Series Sweepstakes

We’ll cover decluttering and home modifications, while addressing emotions tied to memories and letting go. Light breakfast provided and opportunities to win prizes. This event is free.
