As of November 1, 2025, millions of Americans—including many older North Dakotans—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.
November is National Family Caregivers Month, a chance to recognize the contributions, commitment, and sacrifices made every day by the 140,091 caregivers in North Dakota alone.
At AARP New York, volunteers are the driving force behind everything we do.

Join us as we celebrate their stories and the impact they create across the state.
