Local foundation to provide $50 farmers-market vouchers to Medina County seniors
Summary
The Medina County Senior & Adult Foundation will offer $50 vouchers to Medina County residents aged 60 or older who were not selected by the state Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program; vouchers will be available once per senior per summer at the Medina Square Market.
Laura Toth announced on June 9 that the Medina County Senior & Adult Foundation has approved funding to provide $50 farmers market vouchers to Medina County residents aged 60 and older who were not selected through the state Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. The vouchers will be available at the red tent at the Medina Square Market on Saturdays throughout the market season and are limited to one voucher per eligible senior each summer.
Toth said a similar program is in place at the Wadsworth Farmers Market and credited cooperation between the Foundation and Main Street Medina for making the program possible. The announcement did not specify the total number of vouchers available or the foundation’s total budget for the program.
Why it matters: Farmers market vouchers can increase food access for older residents who do not receive benefits through the state program, supporting nutrition and local farmers’ markets.
Next steps: Vouchers will be distributed at the Medina Square Market; seniors should check market hours and availability at the red tent.
