Lehigh County Office of Aging and Adult Service employees will distribute Farm-ers Market Nutrition Program vouchers to eligible senior citizens through the mail while supplies last.  The vouchers are available to Lehigh County residents 60 years or older whose total gross household income is within the income guidelines: $26,973 for a one-person household and $36,482 for a two-person household. To qualify you must be 60 or older (or turn 60 by 12/31/23) and meet the household income guidelines.

A one-person household is eligible to receive five $10 vouchers and a two-person household ten $10 vouchers one time only. A list of local farmers markets where the vouchers may be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables can be found at www.pafmnp.org. This program does not include seniors who are living in nursing home facilities, convents, or residential facilities where meals are provided. The vouchers will not be accepted at grocery stores and must be used by November 30, 2023.

Farmers Market Vouchers will be mailed this year beginning at the end of June. You may complete the application form that is located on the agency website at www.lehighcounty.org on the Aging and Adult Services page and email or mail it to the office.
