The Minnesota River Area Agency on Aging (MNRAAA) provides advocacy, information, resources and assistance so that older adults can maintain the lifestyle of their choice.

MNRAAA’s Legislative Priorities for 2023:

1. Volunteer Drivers – Federal

   • MNRAAA advocates for transportation options that enable older adults to access services and reduce social isolation through continued support for volunteer drivers.
   • MNRAAA is an active member of the Minnesota Volunteer Driver Coalition.

2. Senior Nutrition

   • MNRAAA advocates for supporting the Senior Nutrition program in Minnesota. The need for Senior Nutrition and food securities among the older adult population has grown exponentially since the COVID-19 Pandemic. Lack of nutrition impacts health, erodes quality of life and contributes to rising healthcare costs.
   • Minnesota is an active member of the Minnesota Association of Area Agencies on Aging.
