Fresh produce available for Nevada’s seniors

The SFMNP provides low-income seniors with coupons that can be exchanged for eligible foods at participating Nevada farmers markets. The purpose of this program is to increase the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs and honey and to supplement the nutritional needs of Nevada seniors.

To qualify, a Nevada resident at least 60 years old must meet specific income guidelines and sign up at a local distributing agency site. To find a location, call 775. 353.3758.
