Lake County >> The Area Agency on Aging of Lake & Mendocino Counties has distributed its last voucher booklet for the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program for Lake County this season.
The booklets were issued to the Area Agency on Aging through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The nutrition program’s purpose is to provide resources to low-income seniors in the form of fresh, nutritious, unprepared, locally grown fruits, vegetables, honey and herbs from farmers’ markets, roadside stands and community-supported agriculture programs.
The voucher booklets were distributed to Lake County seniors much sooner than anticipated.
The EBT Match Program will continue to run through the end of October at the Tuesday and Saturday Lake County Farmers’ Finest farmers’ market at Steele Wines located at 4350 Thomas Drive in Kelseyville.
