Hey Seniors 60+ (55+ if American Indian or Alaska Native) did you know you have a benefit available to you for specifically farmers markets?

Fewer than one-third of seniors in our country eat the recommended number of fruits and vegetables, which are vital to preventing and treating health issues.

The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is now accepting applications for eligible seniors to receive a one-time $80 electronic benefits card to purchase fresh, locally grown produce, herbs, and honey at participating farmers markets and farm stores.

To be eligible, Pierce County residents must:
• Be 60 years or older (55+ if American Indian or Alaska Native)
• Earning a monthly income of no more than $2,413 for one person or $3,261 for two people

Applications are available in multiple languages online at https://www.piercecountywa.gov/653/Senior-Farmers-Market-Program or in-person at the front desk of both Pierce County Human Services locations in Tacoma, at 3602 Pacific Ave. Suite #200, and 4301 South Pine St., Suite 446. Applicants can also apply over the phone by calling the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) at 253-798-4600 or 1-800-562-0332.
