AARP Indiana

At AARP, we believe Medicare is a deal with the American people that must not be broken.

In many urban and rural areas, it isn’t always easy to buy fresh, healthy food. The AARP state office is part of the Indiana Healthy Food Access Coalition, which aims to make it easy to buy fresh fruits and vegetables and whole-grain products in every neighborhood.

AARP Indiana and the Institute for Working Families have teamed up on this spotlight on low-income working Hoosiers age 50+.

Last week Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke was presented with copies of a new book, Where We Live: Communities for All Ages , which highlighted his initiative to create a more livable community.

November is National Family Caregivers Month, and AARP Indiana is sponsoring a Caregiver Connection event to support Hoosiers who help an aging loved one continue to live independently.

As Hoosiers go to the polls on Nov. 8th, AARP Indiana is committed to helping you get the facts you need to choose candidates who reflect your values. We are non-partisan -- we don’t support or oppose any political candidates or contribute any money to campaigns or political action committees. Our priority is ensuring you know where the candidates stand before you cast your vote.

Local transportation funding has been part of the public debate for decades in Indianapolis. Currently the city lags behind similarly sized cities ranking 86 in transit investment out of the 100 largest cities. This November, Marion County voters will have the opportunity to vote for increased funding for a plan that will expand access to bus transportation, improve its quality and increase its frequency.
