Senior Farmers Market Voucher Distribution

June 7 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm

The Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is a seasonal USDA grant program that provides participants with access to fresh, nutritious, unprocessed fruits and vegetables from local farmers’ markets and is designed to increase awareness and use of community markets.

South Carolina’s SFMNP began in 2001 as a six-county pilot project. SFMNP has since evolved, currently providing benefits to seniors in 46 counties. The program provides qualifying individuals with checks/vouchers that may be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at local authorized farmers’ markets. Seniors must apply for benefits each year. Learn more about the program here.

SC DSS is the State Agency that administers the program in South Carolina. For more information, call the Council on Aging at 803-432-8173.
