AARP Idaho

Join AARP Idaho for a day at the legislature at the Idaho Capitol on February 3, 2020. Visit with state legislators, attend committee meetings, and learn more about AARP Idaho's 2020 legislative priorities.

With the state legislative session set to begin on Monday, Jan. 6, AARP Idaho is looking for online activists to advocate for key priorities.

The winter holidays are supposed to be a time of good cheer, but fraud watchers are warning people to stay vigilant so scammers don't ruin the season. Fraudulent activity increases as folks do their holiday shopping during this hectic time of year.

Mark your calendars for the final volunteer network meeting of the year at the downtown AARP Idaho Boise state office. On December 10th at 1:30 p.m., AARP Idaho state director Lupe Wissel will give the state of AARP Idaho, a 2019 year-in-review of the accomplishments and work being done in Idaho with the help of volunteers. After the meeting at 2:30 p.m., enjoy a social hour on us at a local restaurant that will be within walking distance from the office.

Every day, Idahoans lose their hard-earned money to a variety of frauds and schemes. In fact, every 2 seconds, a con-artist steals someone’s identity!

On Tuesday, October 29, you and a guest are invited to a free screening of THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN at the Grangeville Senior Center! The movie starts at 7pm.

Do you know ways to help keep your aging loved ones from losing money to scams and fraud? We’ll share important information that could help you keep them safe during our free webinar.

Are you looking for ways to make a difference in our community and “give back”, particularly to your fellow 50+ Gem Staters? If so, we would love to share how AARP Idaho is working to ensure that Idaho residents have choice, control and independence through every stage of their lives. Please join us for a volunteer team building workshop at our Boise office.

Not sure which Medicare plans and options are right for you or a loved one? AARP is here to help connect you to the resources that may make it easier for you to decide what’s right for you.

Americans depend on their prescriptions — but from cancer treatments to EpiPens, drug companies' skyrocketing prices are pushing life-saving treatments out of reach for those who need them. We pay among the highest prescription drug prices in the world so drug companies can make billions. No one should have to choose between buying medicine or buying food for our families. That's not just wrong — it's shameful.
