2023 Farmers Market Voucher Program Distribution Schedule
SENIOR FARMERS MARKET NUTRITION PROGRAM
Summer is here and with the warm weather comes locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables. Mercer County Area Agency on Aging, Inc., is offering the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) to eligible Mercer County Seniors. This program is made possible through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Food Distribution. The purpose of this program is to encourage older adults to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables produced by local growers as well as to support local growers. The SFMNP provides $50.00 in vouchers to eligible older adults. To be eligible to receive the vouchers in Mercer County, a consumer must be:
- a resident of Mercer County; and
- 60 years or older as of 2023; and
- have a gross annual income (including interest, Social Security, wages, etc.) at or below $26,973 for a single person, or $36,482 for a couple. (Income includes income before any deductions such as income taxes, Social Security taxes, insurance premiums, charitable contributions, bonds, etc.)
- Proof of age and residency is required (driver’s license, photo ID, etc.).
A representative may pick up the vouchers for an eligible Senior as long as they have a signed and completed proxy form and the consumer’s proof of age and residency. The proxy form is available at any of the Agency’s Senior Community Centers or the Administrative Office.
