Get 540 To Buy Fresh Produce
Seniors making up to $22,000/year can get as much as $540 to buy fresh fruit and vegetables from roadside stands. Through the little-known Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, seniors in 40 states can have the government help buy their produce. Simply take your issued coupons to participating roadside stands and get free fresh produce. Alabama has $1 million to distribute, while Pennsylvania has $1.5 million in funds. Find out how much your state can give you to buy food. Contact the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, 3101 Park Center Drive, Room 926, Alexandria, VA 22302
