(KAIR)--A program funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Food and Nutrition Service can alleviate some food costs for local residents.
Seniors in Atchison County can apply for $30 in checks for use at the Atchison County Farmers Market.
However, supplies are limited and going fast says County Coordinator of the Atchison Red Shield Service Center.
The checks come in $5 increments and can only be used for the purchase of local and fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and honey from approved vendors.
Qualifying seniors must be 60 years or older and earn an annual gross income at or below $21,978 or a monthly gross income at or below $1,832.
Qualifying seniors can sign up for the project in person at the Salvation Army in Atchison located at 929 Commercial Street during business hours, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For questions concerning the program, call (913)367-1207.
