Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program

The United Way of Oconee, partnering with the state DSS, will issue free coupons to low income adults 60 and older that may be used to buy fresh produce at local participating farmers’ markets. Each eligible person will receive $35 worth of coupons that may be used from June through October 15. They’ll be issued at the United Way Center, downtown Seneca, beginning Tuesday, June 4 through Thursday, June 6—or until supplies last. Applications must be submitted in person, though individuals wishing to apply for homebound seniors may provide a statement from the senior granting permission to apply on his or her behalf. For more information, contact LaShauna Harrison at 864/882-9743 ext. 103.
