Many older adults live on fixed incomes, which can make it difficult to afford the rising
costs. As a result, some aging Minnesotans may have to make

as medication and food.
Older adults play critical
roles in the workforce and as volunteers, making social and economic
contributions on which we all depend. Connecting with
family, friends, and neighbors for its own sake is important at every stage of
life.
