In cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Farmers Market Nutrition vouchers will be distributed to eligible individuals in June at all Lancaster County Office of Aging senior centers.

Other distribution sites include the Ephrata Recreation Center and New Holland United Methodist Church.

The nutrition vouchers, valued at $20, can be exchanged for Pennsylvania-grown fruits and vegetables through November at participating farmers markets and roadside stands.

To be eligible, an individual must be at least 60 years of age, reside in Lancaster County, and have an annual household income of less than $23,107 for one person or less than $31,284 for two.

Those living in nursing homes or other residential facilities where meals are provided are not eligible for this program.

Those unable to pick up the vouchers may have a proxy or representative go on their behalf but need to have a completed, signed proxy form along with photo ID of the eligible individual presented at the time of distribution.

To receive a proxy form by mail prior to distribution, contact any senior center listed below or the Office of Aging at (717) 299-7979.
