Vouchers available for seniors to use farmers’ markets

Posted

Applications for senior farmers’ market vouchers are being accepted until Oct. 1 in Boone, Audrain, Callaway and Cole counties.

The vouchers are offered by Aging Best and allow qualifying seniors to receive up to $50 to be used at local farmers’ markets, according to a news release. The program was designed to increase the consumption of locally grown produce and support local farmers and will end Oct. 31.

Homebound residents do not need to be present to redeem the vouchers. A friend or family member can use them on the resident’s behalf, the release reads. Residents can call 800-369-5211 for more information on receiving the vouchers.
