Exciting things are happening in New York and AARP is proud to be a part of them
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.

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.

Be entertained—but not deceived.
Earlier this month, 13 AARP members and volunteers helped collect more than 1,000 pounds in food donations for Nassau County veterans service agency VetMart. Volunteers stood outside the entrance to the Carl Place Stop&Shop and encouraged patrons to pick up a few extra items for the food drive while they did their usual shopping. The outpouring of generosity and compassion from the community was incredible - Donations came in by the bagful! Some shoppers handed over more in donations than they’d bought for themselves, while others ran back into the store for a second round of shopping once they realized there was a food drive.
AARP is PRIDE. That is why we will be marching in this year’s New York City Pride March in Governor Cuomo’s contingent. The March will take place this year on Sunday June 25th. If you are interested in marching with us, register here.
