Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Anniston, AL, is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of low-income seniors aged 60 and older by providing valuable food assistance through the distribution of coupons. These vouchers can be used to purchase fresh, nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs directly from local farmers at authorized farmers markets and roadside stands. The program, administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, ensures that seniors have access to healthy food options while supporting local agriculture. Eligible participants will receive their vouchers by mail and must utilize them by November 15 of the issuing year, fostering a sustainable connection between seniors and local food sources.
