Lehigh County Office of Aging and Adult Service employees will distribute Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers to eligible senior citizens via mail while supplies last.

The vouchers are available to Lehigh County residents age 60 or older whose total gross household income is within the income guidelines: $23,828 for a one-person household and $32,227 for a two-person household.

To qualify, you must be 60 or older or turn 60 by Dec. 31 and meet the household income guidelines.

A one-person household is eligible to receive four $6 vouchers and a two-person household eight $6 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 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 Nov. 30.

Farmers Market Vouchers will be mailed this year.

Complete the application form on the agency website at lehighcouny.org on the Aging and Adult Services page and email or mail it to the office.
