The West Virginia Department of Agriculture has again this year received funding for the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program. The program will be offered in all 55 counties of West Virginia.
Vouchers will be distributed to eligible seniors (age 60 and over) who meet the income guidelines. Eligible seniors will receive $28 in coupons per household to be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at any of the state’s approved farmers’ markets or produce stands.
Eligible seniors can sign up for vouchers starting July 1 at the Lewis County Senior Center on weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Staff will be setup outside to take care of seniors at designated tables or the car. Please be sure to observe social distancing. Participants are asked to wear a face mask or covering. For more information, call the Center at 269-5738. The Center is located at 171 W 2nd St., Weston.
As in past years, seniors must provide proof of age/birth date, such as a driver’s license.
