“Healthy food is medicine that all New Yorkers should have access to,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “Changing my diet by eating healthier foods helped transform my life, putting my type 2 diabetes into remission. And providing all New Yorkers with access to those same healthy foods is crucial to building a more equitable city. Farmers markets are abound with fresh fruits and vegetables, and the coupons through the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program help make those healthy foods more affordable. I encourage all eligible New Yorkers to take advantage of this program so they can realize the benefits of eating the nutritious foods our bodies need.” – NYC.gov Press Release: Department for the Aging Begins Distribution of Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program Coupons: https://on.nyc.gov/3StdXps
