Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP), based in Pleasant Grove, AL, is dedicated to enhancing the nutritional health of low-income seniors aged 60 and above. By providing essential food assistance through coupons that can be redeemed for fresh fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs at local farmers markets and roadside stands, SFMNP supports direct access to wholesome, locally-grown produce. Upon approval, participants receive their food vouchers by mail, and it is important to use them before November 15 of the receiving year. This program not only empowers seniors to make healthier choices but also fosters community connections by supporting local farmers.
