Mercer County Area Agency on Aging Inc. is offering the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program to eligible residents. The state program encourages older adults to eat more locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables.
A $20 voucher is available to adults who are Mercer County residents, age 60 or older, and have a gross income at or below $20,036 for a single person or $26,955 for a couple. Proof of age and residency is required, including a driver’s license or photo ID.
A representative may pick up the vouchers for an eligible senior if they have proof of age and residency and a signed and completed proxy form, available at any of the agency’s senior community centers or the MCAAA office. The form is also printed in the current issue of Senior Shopper.
Eligible older adults may receive the vouchers only once each year to be picked up while supplies last at these times and locations this month:
