Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Clanton, Alabama, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income seniors aged 60 and older by providing food assistance through the distribution of coupons. These vouchers can be used to purchase fresh, eligible foods such as fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs directly from local farmers at approved farmers markets and roadside stands. By supporting local agriculture and ensuring access to nutritious produce, SFMNP empowers seniors to lead healthier lives while also fostering community connections. Participants in the program receive their vouchers by mail and must use them by November 15 of the calendar year they are granted, ensuring that healthy options are both accessible and timely.
