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 both in person and by mail, now through Sept. 15.
This program provides $24 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, 2022, and have a total gross annual household income at or below $25,142 ($2,095 per month) for a single person; $33,874 ($2,823 per month) for a two-person household; and $42,606 ($3,550 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.
Completed applications are required to receive vouchers in person or by mail.
An application must be completed to receive the vouchers and can be obtained by downloading it from ycaaa.org, by emailing aging@yorkcountypa.gov, by calling the office at (717) 771-9610, or by contacting your local senior center.
