RSVP offers Farmer's Market coupons for Carson City seniors Tuesday at Community Center
The Nevada Rural Counties Retired and Senior Volunteer Program has free Farmers Market coupons for Carson City low-income seniors through the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program.
On Tuesday, June 22 coupon booklets will be distributed at the Carson City Community Center, Bob Boldrick Theater Lobby, located at 851 E. William Street, from 9 a.m. to noon or until the coupons are gone.
Each senior can receive only 1 coupon booklet per season and must meet income and residence guidelines stated below. Each eligible senior will get $45 in coupons redeemable at the local Farmers’ Markets in Carson City or coupons may be used at any other Nevada Farmers Market displaying the appropriate signage.
In order to qualify for coupons, you must be a Nevada resident, 60 years of age or older, and must have an income that does not exceed $23,828 annually ($1,986/month) for a household of 1 or $32,227 annually ($2,686/month) for a household of 2. We are able to give one set of coupons per person.
You will need to present a Nevada ID or a Nevada Driver’s License showing a Carson City residence in order to receive coupons and must sign the self-certification form at the distribution site. Non-senior friends or family members may pick up the coupon booklet for a homebound senior but will need to have the senior’s identification and a note authorizing them to receive the coupons.
