Lehigh County Office of Aging and Adult Service employees will distribute Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers to eligible senior citizens while supplies last.

The vouchers are available to residents 60 years or older whose total gross household income is not more than $21,590 for a single person or $28,101 for married couples.

Proof of age and residency must be provided.

If an individual authorized by an eligible senior will be receiving vouchers on that seniors behalf, a proxy form must be completed and signed by the eligible senior prior to the authorized individual receiving vouchers on behalf of the older adult.

Proxy forms can be obtained by calling the Information and Referral Unit at 610-782-3200.

A single person is eligible to receive four $5 vouchers and couples eight $5 vouchers one time only.

They will also receive a list of local farmers markets where the vouchers may be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables.

This program does not include seniors living in nursing home facilities, convents or residential facilities where meals are provided.

The vouchers will not be accepted at grocery stores and must be used by Nov. 30.

Farmers Market Vouchers will be distributed 9-11 a.m. Wednesdays at the Lehigh County Government Center's Information and Referral Lobby, 17 S. 7th St., Allentown.
