Exciting news for Washington State seniors! From May 1st through October 1st, the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program is offering an excellent opportunity for eligible seniors to enrich their diet with fresh, local produce. If you are 60 years or older (55+ for Native American or Alaska Native individuals), and meet the income requirements, you could receive an Electronic Benefits Card pre-loaded with $80 to spend at participating farmers markets and roadside stands. This initiative aims to support the health and wellbeing of our senior community by providing easy access to nutritious food.
