After a long winter and, for many, continued isolation during the pandemic, AARP Maine encourages its members and their families to safely take advantage of the great outdoors right in their backyard.

 

No matter where you are in the caregiver journey, these local agencies and organizations can help make the process easier

AARP Maine offers a multitude of opportunities for members and their families to learn, explore and have fun.

We’re writing with an important message to let you know that we have canceled our external events until further notice. While convening events is a core part of our mission, we have changed our approach in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

PLEASE READ: This is a time of great uncertainty for all of us as we confront the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and work to keep ourselves and our families safe. At this time, AARP Maine, out of a preponderance of caution, has made the decision to suspend all community programs through December 2020. We appreciate your understanding. Please visit www.aarp.org/coronavirus for the latest information about the outbreak, what public agencies are doing and how you and your families can protect yourselves. If you have specific questions, you can call the Maine 211 Hotline that has been set up to provide Maine- based information.

Cycling and walking are great ways to get around and stay in shape, but they can be unsafe activities in car-centric communities.

Scams and frauds are on the rise, but Mainers can take active steps to protect themselves and their families.  AARP Maine is once again collaborating with community partners to host free shredding events.  All of our events will also include safe disposal of your unwanted or expired medications.  Please join us and bring your friends and family!

Celebrate summer with AARP Maine!
