In an effort to promote healthier eating habits and support the local agriculture, Senior Action is stepping forward to host a make-up day on July 2, aiming to distribute $50 Farmers’ Market vouchers to eligible senior residents. This initiative’s prime intent is to ensure that senior citizens have access to fresh, nutritious food while supporting their local farmers.
The make-up day follows previous distribution events, which unfortunately faced weather-related disruptions. Hence, the rescheduled event is offering yet another opportunity for senior citizens to receive these beneficial vouchers.
The make-up day will take place at Senior Action, located at 3715 E. North Street in Greenville from 8 a.m. till 12 p.m. It’s important to note that a limited number of vouchers are available for the make-up day, hence they will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis, emphasizing the importance of early arrival.
The team at Senior Action has set forth specific eligibility requirements for voucher recipients. Residents of Greenville County who are at least 60 years of age are eligible to take part in this program. However, applicants must meet minimum income requirements, and they should not have received a voucher yet this year. They are required to bring a driver’s license or government-issued ID for verification.
The acquired vouchers can be used at approved Farmers’ Market locations from July through October. This time frame provides a wide enough window for recipients to make best use of their vouchers, purchasing fresh and local produce at their convenience.
The decision by Senior Action to host a make-up day for the voucher distribution is anticipated to have a positive impact in the community. Not only does this initiative ensure access to a healthy diet for seniors, but it also stimulates local businesses, benefiting farmers and fostering a real sense of community support.
Senior Action stands as a strong advocate for senior health and the benefits of a nutrient-rich diet. This event is also expected to raise awareness about healthful eating among the elderly population and encourage regular visits to local farmer’s markets. Overall, the initiative is a step forward in promoting healthier lifestyle choices among senior citizens, highlighting the importance of consuming fresh fruits and vegetables.
