Lancaster County Office of Aging is conducting a mail-only program this year for the Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers.
Vouchers will not be distributed in person at senior centers this year.
Each eligible participant will receive $50 in vouchers (one time) to be used at approved farmers markets to purchase Pennsylvania-grown fruits and vegetables.
Vouchers may be redeemed until Nov. 30.
To be eligible, individuals must be age 60 by Dec. 31, 2024; live in Lancaster County; and have household income less than $27,861 for one person or less than $37,814 for two people.
Those living in personal care or nursing homes are not eligible.
To receive the 2024 vouchers, individuals should mail a completed application to Lancaster County Office of Aging, where they will be processed and vouchers then issued by mail.
The Office of Aging is accepting applications now, and voucher distribution will begin June 1 on a first-come, first-served basis until Sept. 15 or until vouchers are gone.
