Senior Farmers Market Coupons

Gives low-income adults age 60 and older a $50 supply of coupons to shop at the local Farmer’s Market, allowing them to enhance their food resources with fresh, locally grown vegetables and fruit. This program includes coupons that can be used at various Farmer’s Market locations.

Farmer’s Market Coupons are distributed annually in June at our 1616 Lewis Street Pantry. To be eligible for Farmer’s Market Coupons, recipients must be at least 60 years of age and under the income guideline set at 185% of the federal poverty level.
