FOOD SHELVES, THE VOLUNTEERS, AND THE FAMILIES THAT USE THEM ARE BRACING FOR A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, ONE THAT IF IT HAPPENS, COULD LAST A FEW WEEKS. DEMAND HAS BEEN RISING EVER SINCE THE PANDEMIC, AND IF MORE FAMILIES FIND THEMSELVES WITHOUT WORK, THEY MAY LOOK TO A FOOD SHELF FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY ALSO NOTE THAT IN A LONGER SHUTDOWN, THE WIC PROGRAM COULD RUN OUT OF FUNDING, ALTHOUGH THE PROGRAM WILL NOT BE AFFECTED SIMPLY BECAUSE A SHUTDOWN HAPPENS.
AN AARP SCORECARD HAS PLACED MINNESOTA AS THE BEST STATE FOR OVERALL LONG-TERM CARE PERFORMANCE. IT LOOKS AT SAFETY, QUALITY, AFFORDABILITY AND ACCESS TO THE CARE.

IT WASN’T ALL GOOD NEWS, MINNESOTA PERFORMED WELL IN THE ACCESS TO CARE, THE QUALITY, AND THE SUPPORT GIVEN TO THE WORKERS, BUT RANKED NEAR THE BOTTOM IN THE AFFORDABILITY CATEGORY.
