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

Vouchers are available to Lehigh County residents 60 years or older whose total gross household income is within the income guidelines: $26,973 for a one-person household and $36,482 for a two-person household.

To qualify, the individual must be 60 or older (or turn 60 by Dec. 31, 2023) and meet household income guidelines.

A one-person household is eligible to receive five $10 vouchers. A two-person household is eligible to receive 10 vouchers in the same amount, one time only.

A list of local farmers markets where the vouchers may be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables is located at pafmnp.org.

This program does not include seniors who are living in nursing home facilities, convents or residential facilities where meals are provided.

Vouchers will not be accepted at grocery stores and must be used by Nov. 30.

Farmers Market Vouchers will be mailed this year beginning at the end of June.

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