2021 Senior Farmers' Market nutrition program coupons

Along with our gorgeous summer weather, we in the Seeley-Swan Valley have something to celebrate! Seniors who are 60 years of age and older, residents of Missoula County and meet federal income guidelines (one-person household maximum monthly income = $1,986; two-person household maximum monthly income = $2,686; three-person household maximum monthly income = $3,386), qualify to receive $50 worth of coupons to purchase fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables through 2021 Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program. Note that if applying as a couple, each individual must complete a separate application.

Coupons can be spent locally at the Seeley Lake Sunday Market, which begins Sunday, June 20 and ends Sunday, Sept. 5, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Seeley Lake Community Foundation Building grounds (3150 MT Hwy 83 N). Coupons also may be spent at Missoula Farmers' Markets.

HOW TO APPLY:

1. Fill out the Farmers' Market Coupon Program application which you can stop by and get from Linda Howard, Seeley-Swan Resource Specialist at her office in the Seeley Lake Community Foundation Building Monday-Friday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and give it to Linda.

2. Call Linda at 406-541-7688 and she will mail an application to you; or go to the Missoula Aging Services website at missoulaagingservices.org and download and print the application form.
