Retirees who volunteer report greater life satisfaction, lower depression rates, and even improved cognitive abilities.

If you're feeling restless when you retire, maybe it's time to hang up the clubs and vacations for a bit and ask a new question: Where can I make a difference today?

From 2014 to 2024, funding for the Older American's Act (OAA) Nutrition Program declined by 3 percent per person, while the number of people age 60 and older increased by 28 percent, according to an analysis by health policy research nonprofit KFF.

MacKenzie Scott's generous gift to Meals on Wheels America should help many struggling programs across the country.

Years of flat federal funding and rising costs have led to a cap on clients and long waitlists​

It's Give to the Max Day! ✨

When federal funding won’t cover the full number of seniors needing care, it’s thanks to donors like you that we can immediately start service for vulnerable individuals.

Help EMoW serve all the seniors seeking help

We wish everyone a peaceful Veterans Day. Sheridan Memorial Park is a good place to observe the holiday.

It features a memorial honoring Minnesota veterans centered on a large spherical sculpture of protective shields.

The walkway around the sculpture is engraved with notable quotes about peace. Along the walk, vertical markers stand, describing the ten conflicts in which Minnesotans have served. The steel and granite markers are imbued with faces of Minneapolis veterans cast in iron.

Sheridan Memorial Park also has a playground, picnic shelter, basketball court and stone stairs that offer a way to enjoy the Mississippi River. It's located at 1300 Water St. NE.

Thank you to all veterans who honorably served our country.
