2018 AARP Community Challenge Grantee Memphis Tennessee
2018 AARP Community Challenge Grantee - Memphis, Tennessee About
GRANTEE: Many older adults in the Crosstown neighborhood travel by foot and bus and do not own a car. Walking or riding in a wheelchair to the popular Josephine Lewis Senior Center can be a challenge due to cracked, uneven sidewalks. AARP funding was used to repair and replace sidewalks around the senior center, design and install wayfinding signage to encourage low-impact exercise along the urban walking trail, and create a rest spot along the path so hikers can take a break and even socialize. The funds "quick-action" projects that build momentum for local change to improve livability for people of all ages.
