WEST DEPTFORD TWP. – The Gloucester County Division of Senior Services will be distributing Farmers Market Vouchers this year to 2,000 county income-eligible seniors, announced Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger and Freeholder Jiim Jefferson.
Damminger said, “This year eligible seniors will receive $20 in vouchers toward fresh fruit and vegetables at 23 farmers markets throughout Gloucester County. Our seniors should have access the bounty of our region.”
Freeholder Jim Jefferson said, “Through a federal grant we are able to provide our seniors more options to eat healthy and support our local farmers. Many of our seniors live on a fixed income and every bit helps them and they can use these vouchers to enjoy the abundant produce that is grown locally.” Jefferson is the liaison to the Division of Senior Services.
