As of November 1, 2025, millions of Americans—including many older Georgians—may not receive their monthly food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. This disruption affects individuals living on fixed incomes, many of whom rely on SNAP to afford groceries and maintain their health.

From advocating for important issues to lending a helping hand in local communities, these volunteers embody the spirit of service and inspire us all. Join us as we celebrate their stories and the impact they create across the state.
