Lancaster County Office of Aging has announced kickoff dates for distribution of the 2023 Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program.
Each eligible participant will receive (one time) $50 in vouchers to be used at approved farmers markets to purchase Pennsylvania-grown fruits and vegetables. Vouchers are available for use until Nov. 30.
To be eligible, individuals must be age 60 by Dec. 31, 2023; live in Lancaster County; and have household income less than $26,973 for one person or less than $36,482 for two people. Those living in personal care or nursing homes are not eligible.
Office of Aging senior centers will have the vouchers throughout the summer until they are gone. Interested individuals will need to present a current ID but do not need an application form or proof of income.
For those who cannot attend the distribution date, vouchers will be available at the centers afterward during normal business hours. Vouchers are available for pickup only and will not be mailed.
To have a representative pick up vouchers for you, complete an application form and have the representative present it to the senior center. No ID or proof of income is required. Representatives may pick up vouchers for a maximum of four people.
Application forms are available from the Lancaster County Office of Aging website, lancoaging.org, or by calling (717) 299-7979.
