Union County Announces Senior Farmers’ Market Vouchers Distribution Dates for June

The Union County Board of County Commissioners and the Department of Human Services' Division on Aging are continuing the distribution of Senior Farmers Market vouchers with new dates in June. Eligible seniors ages 60 and over are invited to visit designated locations to obtain vouchers that provide access to fresh, healthy produce and support our community farmers.

"Everyone deserves access to fresh and nutritious food. The Farmers Market Nutrition Program helps us close the gap for seniors living on fixed incomes to a healthier diet," said Commissioner Chairman Joseph C. Bodek. "We want to encourage all eligible individuals not to wait until it is too late and apply soon."

To be eligible, seniors must be 60 years of age or older, live in Union County, and provide proof of age and residency. A single person's monthly income may not exceed $2,461 per month, and a married couple's combined income may not exceed $3,337 per month.

The Division on Aging will distribute vouchers on the following dates and locations in June:

• June 5 - Summit Community Center - 100 Morris Avenue, Summit
• June 11 - Westfield Community Center - 558 West Broad Street, Westfield

All location hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Residents from the following municipalities can reach out to their local Community or Senior Center to obtain Senior Farmers Market vouchers:

• Hillside - Hillside Senior Center - 908-355-8928
• Roselle - Roselle Recreation Department - 908-259-3036

"These vouchers not only provide a vital resource and social outlet for seniors, they also help boost our economy and assist local farmers in building meaningful relationships with our community," said Commissioner James E. Baker, Liaison to the Advisory Council on Aging.

A limited number of vouchers are available, and applications will be considered on a "first-come, first-served" basis. Vouchers must be used by November 30, 2026.
