Warren County Senior Center, Cooperative Extension Launch Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program
Warren County older adults can participate in the Seniors Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP), which would allow them to use coupons to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables at the farmers’ market.
Great opportunity for Warren County seniors and our local farmers!
The Warren County Senior Center and Warren County Cooperative Extension announce the launch of the Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) for 2022.
The SFMNP provides lower-income older adults with coupons to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables at their local farmers’ markets. The program’s dual goals are designed to improve the nutritional status of older adults and stimulate business for local farmers while creating a greater awareness of the farmers’ market.
The Warren County Senior Center is distributing coupons to eligible residents once during the growing season.
WHO QUALIFIES: A recipient must be a Warren County resident aged 60 years or older and meet certain self-declared monthly income eligibility requirements ($2,096 per month for an individual or $2,823 for a couple).
Coupons are available at the Warren County Senior Center located 435 West Franklin Street, Warrenton, on Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. Call the Warren County Senior Center at 252-257-3111 with any questions.
These coupons can be used through September 30, 2022, at the Warren County Farmers’ Market, located in the parking lot of the Warren County Health Department (544 West Ridgeway Street, Warrenton, NC) every Saturday from 8:00am-Noon.
