The Bucks County Area Agency on Aging announced they started once again distributing vouchers for eligible Bucks County seniors to purchase produce at farmers markets throughout the summer.
Vouchers will be available at senior centers through Sept. 30 or while supplies last. Seniors unable to make it to a senior center can receive a voucher application via mail by contacting the Area Agency on Aging prior to Sept. 15.
“This service allows older adults to get fresh produce throughout the summer and into November that supplements a healthy diet” said Wanda Ritter, Deputy Administrator for the Bucks County Area Agency on Aging. “Each year, Bucks County older adults look forward to the distribution of produce vouchers and the fresh fruits and vegetables it provides them.”
With these vouchers, seniors receive five $10 program checks to be used at farmers markets throughout the county.
Bucks County residents who will be 60 or older by Dec. 31 and who meet the income guidelines listed below are eligible.
