Tioga Opportunities, Inc. will host a distribution for Senior Farmers’ Market Coupon Booklets on Thursday, Aug. 20, at the Berkshire Community Center, located at 11 Jewett Hill Rd. in Berkshire, from 2 to 4 p.m.
This annual program puts coupons into the hands of low-income older adults that can be used at area Farmers’ Markets to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. If you are 60 years of age or older and have a monthly income of $1,968 or less for a one-person household (or $2,658 or less for a two-person household), you qualify for a booklet of coupons worth $20.
Each eligible individual in a household can receive a booklet of coupons. This year, each person receiving a coupon booklet will also receive a reusable facemask.
The Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program coupon booklets are also available at Tioga Opportunities, Inc.’s Countryside Community Center, located at 9 Sheldon Guile Blvd. in Owego, Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, coupon booklets are available to be mailed directly to your home. Booklets are available on a first come, first served basis, while supplies last.
For more information on this new option, call (607) 687-4120, ext. 315.
