As of November 1, 2025, millions of Americans—including many older adults—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 by America’s 63 million family caregivers every single day.
At AARP New York, volunteers are the driving force behind everything we do. Each month in 2025, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible individuals who give their time, energy, and passion to make a difference in the lives of older New Yorkers. 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.
