UPDATE ON 2026 SENIOR FARMERS MARKET NUTRITION PROGRAM

The 2026 Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) application process is different than previous years. Please review the below information carefully:

• Interested and eligible participants may apply from April 22, 2026 until May 22, 2026.
o Individuals may no longer apply after this date.
o Individuals must reapply annually, even if you have participated in previous years.

• All applications must be completed online at https://portal.homegrownbenefits.com/apply/ohio. No paper applications are available.

• Individuals using an existing SFMNP Homegrown Benefits debit card or the mobile app will see their funds loaded onto their Homegrown debit card or mobile app by May 15, 2026.
o Those who do not already have a Homegrown Benefits debit card, need a replacement card, or who are new to using the app, will receive their benefits in the future.

• Funds are limited for 2026, so it is recommended that those interested in applying do as soon as possible.

As in the past, those who receive a $50 SFMNP benefit will have until November 30, 2026 to purchase locally grown, fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey at community markets and roadside stands. For information on where SFMNP benefits can be spent, visit https://ohiofarmersmarketnetwork.org/senior-farmers-market-nutrition-program/.

HOW TO APPLY
The 2026 application is located at https://portal.homegrownbenefits.com/apply/ohio.

• If you participated in 2025 and still have your Homegrown Benefits debit card or mobile app, you still must complete the 2026 SFMNP application.

🐰🌷 FCCLA Continues a Meaningful Tradition 🌷🐰

Since 1996, FCCLA members have partnered with the Brick House Homeless Shelter and transitional housing to provide Easter baskets for children in our community.

Each basket was thoughtfully crafted and filled with candy, stuffed animals, coloring books, bubbles, and other small surprises — items meant to bring a little extra joy.

We appreciate our Panthers for their continued commitment to service and for supporting a tradition that has made an impact in Fayette County for nearly three decades! 🐾💛
