The Lancaster County Office of Aging is inviting eligible seniors to apply for this year’s Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition vouchers.
Eligible participants can receive $50 in vouchers to buy fruits and vegetables at participating farmers’ markets. The eligibility requirements are as follows:
- Age 60 as of Dec. 31, 2024;
- Reside in Lancaster County;
- Gross household income under $27,861 for one person or $37,814 for a couple.
