RSVP Offers Farmer's Market Coupons for Dayton Seniors at Dayton Senior Center on June 24th
The Nevada Rural Counties Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) has free Farmers Market coupons for Carson City low-income seniors through the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP).
“RSVP is grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Nevada Department of Agriculture and the State of Nevada Division for Aging and Disability Services to provide the Farmers Market coupons to seniors in our community," said Molly Walt, C.E.O. "Seniors will be able to enjoy fresh produce and support local farmers.”
On Thursday, June 24, 2021, coupon booklets will be distributed at the Dayton Senior Center, located at 320 Old Dayton Valley Road, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm 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 $45.00 in coupons redeemable at the local Farmers’ Markets which can be used at the Dayton Farmers Market.
Coupons may be used at any other Nevada Farmers Market displaying the appropriate signage. Once the booklets are claimed, they cannot be replaced if lost or damaged.
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 Dayton 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.
