Posted

St. Lawrence County Office for the Aging will distribute Farmers Market Coupons this year via Drive-Thru Distribution Sites.

Due to COVID safety precautions, Farmers Market Coupons will not be distributed in our main office.

Distribution will happen from the convenience of your vehicle.

See the schedule below for a list of when we will be handing out coupons at a location near you.

Clients are highly encouraged to attend the drive-thru distributions; as quantities of coupons are limited. For more information, call 315-386-4730.

Schedule subject to change based on coupon availability.

Rules and procedures for all locations:

Clients will remain in their vehicles at all times. An OFA staff member will distribute the necessary eligibility paperwork and booklets via the vehicle’s window.

Clients and staff must be wearing masks at all times.

Bring your own pen for sanitation purposes.

Please be patient as the lines may be long, but wait times should be short, say organizers.

Only one coupon booklet per eligible senior in each household; while quantities last.

The eligible senior must sign up in person. An eligible Health Care Proxy or Power of Attorney with proper paperwork, can sign for the coupons.
