Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging

Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging The Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging is uniting leaders to advance equitable opportunities for all Minnesotans as we age.

Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging is located – and our members operate – on the ancestral lands of the Dakota, Lakota, and Anishinaabe People. We acknowledge the Ho-Chunk, Cheyenne, Oto, Iowa, Sac, Fox, Arapaho, Omaha, Ottawa, Ponca, Sauk, Winnebago, Wyandot, and the other nations of people who also called this place home. We pay respect to their elders, past and present. Minnesota is undergoi

ng an unprecedented demographic shift, becoming increasingly diverse and aging rapidly. By 2030 it is estimated that one in five Minnesotans will be 65 years and older. For many, this state is a great place to age. It is consistently rated one of the healthiest and most senior-friendly in national polls. However, this is not true for all groups. Minnesota ranks high in numerous disparities between Black, Indigenous, People of Color, the LGBTQ+ community, undocumented, and other marginalized voices and their white and heterosexual/cisgender peers. We understand that the scale of inequity affecting Minnesota's various communities is a function of interconnected socioeconomic systems built on a foundation of racial prejudice, stereotypes, and bias. Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging is committed to addressing this structural challenge in communities and services for older adults. We recognize the intersections of age, culture, ability and disability, neurodiversity, ethnic origin, gender identity and expression, marital status, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, and legal and socioeconomic status influence our experiences and influence our work. We acknowledge that historically Black, Indigenous, People of Color, LGTBQ+, undocumented, immigrant and refugee, and all marginalized voices have been neither equally/fully visible nor respected. Our goal is to create communities and systems that support aging with dignity and a spirit of well-being in Minnesota.

The Twin Cities is home to one of the nation's largest pride celebrations, culminating with a festival and parade the last weekend in June. Meals on Wheels is proud to support LGBTQ+ older adults and we've compiled a list of other organizations in the Twin Cities that offer resources and social connections in our community on our blog!

We'll again be marching in the Twin Cities Pride Parade on Sunday, June 28, where our team and mascot will be sharing smiles and high fives!

School is out for the summer! If you are looking for an enriching summer activity for your kids, consider delivering Meals on Wheels with them!

Delivering meals with kids introduces them to the concepts of community responsibility and the importance of nutrition. For many recipients, the daily visit from volunteers is the only human contact they’ll have all day, so imagine the joy on their faces when they’re greeted by smiling children! It also provides children the opportunity to build relationships with older adults and people from different walks of life in their own community.

Want to learn more? Go to meals-on-wheels.com/volunteer/families or give us a call at 612-623-3363!
