Pack One Million Meals to Help South Florida’s Seniors – presented by AARP Foundation


Saturday, September 20th 2014

We’re excited to have you join AARP Foundation, the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Dolphins Foundation, as we work together to pack One Million Meals for struggling older adults in South Florida. All meals will be donated to Feeding South Florida.
Volunteers will work an assembly line, combining ingredients and vitamins, to make one million nutritious meals of rice and beans. In preparation for packing meals, please take a few minutes to review this short training video from our food supplier, Outreach, Inc.

AARP Foundation, a charitable affiliate of AARP, works with struggling people 50 and over so they can regain their confidence as good providers and members of their communities. We focus on four priorities where immediate action and legal advocacy will have the greatest impact: hunger, income, housing and isolation.
