AARP
AARP Idaho is now accepting nominations for its 2026 Idaho Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors 50+ Idahoans who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members. This year's recipient will be recognized at an award ceremony and given the opportunity to designate a nonprofit organization to receive a $2,000 donation in their name.
