Join AARP this fall to fight hunger and enjoy Oktoberfest at area craft breweries. Two growing trends in the Twin Cities are craft brewing and food insecurity in the 50+ population. AARP in the Twin Cities is celebrating the former in order to fight the later.
A new and exciting opportunity is available for AARP Minnesota Volunteers. For those who are interested in food, nutrition, cooking or hunger issues, the Cooking Matters at the Store program is way to use that passion to help fellow Minnesotans. Volunteers will assist with or lead grocery store tours for older adults on how to buy healthy food and stretch their food budget.
Hi again. It's Lynne, and I am settling into my AmeriCorps VISTA assignment doing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Outreach with AARP Foundation.
This June, AARP is partnering with Bremer Bank to support food banks across Minnesota, North Dakota and Western Wisconsin. Each view of the the YouTube video below will generate a $1 donation from Bremer Bank up to a total of $10,000. Proceeds will go to support 2nd Harvest Heartland and the Great Plains Food Bank which support food shelves in the three states.
