Posted

OGDENSBURG – St. Lawrence County Office for the Aging is distributing farmers market coupon booklets for income-eligible seniors at various locations around the county and at the upcoming senior picnic.

From June 1 through Nov. 30, low income eligible seniors, age 60 and older, may use farmers market coupons to purchase locally grown fruits and vegetables from local farmers' markets.

Low income in this case is defined as having a monthly income at/or below $1,872 for a one-person-household; $2,538 for a two-person household; and $3,204 for a three-person household.

Office for the Aging will distribute coupons starting June 1 at the office and will continue distribution until they run out. Booklets will also be available at the senior picnic on July 13 at the Gouverneur Community Center.

Distribution locations and dates are listed below. Booklets cannot be mailed and may not be picked up by proxies. Powers of attorney may sign for booklets, however, a POA form is needed. Booklets are first come, first served.

One coupon booklet will be issued to all eligible seniors in a household, regardless of how many seniors comprise the household. Senior citizens who have questions regarding farmers market coupons should contact the Office for the Aging at 315-386-4730.
