The York County Area Agency on Aging, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, is again offering the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program to eligible York County seniors, now through Sept. 30.
This program provides $50 in vouchers to eligible seniors to buy fresh fruit and vegetables from participating local farm markets.
York County residents are eligible to participate if they are 60 years of age or older by Dec. 31, 2023, and have a total gross annual household income at or below $26,973 ($2,248 per month) for a single person; $36,482 ($3,040 per month) for a two-person household; and $45,991 ($3,833 per month) for three people.
All income is included when calculating total gross income. Both residents of a two-person household may receive vouchers if their combined total income is within the income requirements.
Individuals are eligible to receive the vouchers only once per calendar year. The vouchers can be redeemed between June 1 and Nov. 30 on fruits and vegetables grown in Pennsylvania.
Residents of nursing homes, personal care homes, or any residential facility where meals are provided are not eligible to receive vouchers.
No applications are needed. Distribution will be in person only; no vouchers will be mailed.
Proxy forms are available for anyone who physically cannot come to the locations. ID for the eligible person and proxy are required.
Proxy forms can be obtained online at ycaaa.org; at any participating senior center; or at the York County Area Agency on Aging’s new location, 2401 Pleasant Valley Road, York.
