The Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Ames, IA, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of eligible older adults by providing them with access to fresh, locally sourced produce. Through this initiative, seniors receive a booklet of checks worth $30 to spend at participating farmers' markets and roadside stands, empowering them to purchase nutritious fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey that are grown right here in Iowa. This program not only provides essential food assistance but also encourages seniors to engage with their local food community. Checks are distributed by Area Agencies on Aging from June 1 to September 30 on a first-come, first-served basis, with eligible seniors required to apply annually for this vital support. Join us in ensuring that our aging population has access to the nutritious food they deserve.
