Low-income Atlantic County residents 60 years and older can request a $40 credit to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs at participating local farmers markets beginning May through November 30, 2026.
The Atlantic County Division of Intergenerational Services will provide the credits at six distribution events between May 20 and June 24 to interested residents who meet the age and income eligibility guidelines established by the state: annual gross income that does not exceed $2,461 per month or $29,526 per year for a single person and $3,337 per month or $40,034 annually for a couple.
Vouchers will be distributed in-person at select senior nutrition centers and senior facilities. A participating farmer will be in attendance on select dates.
Applicants must provide identification, proof of income and proof of residency. Those who meet the requirements will receive a QR code with a $40 balance that can be used all at once or in multiple trips to participating farmers markets. QR codes are non-transferable and cannot be replaced if lost or stolen.
