Senior Project FRESH
The Otsego County Commission on Aging, in partnership with MSU Extension, offers a program targeted at bringing locally-grown fresh produce and nutritional information to the older adults of Otsego County. Known as Senior Project FRESH, the program offers a coupon booklet to each qualifying participant which can be used to purchase unprocessed Michigan-grown produce at any of the farmers markets or roadside stands in Michigan that display a “Project FRESH” sign. Each coupon booklet contains ten $2.00 coupons. Each booklet is valued at $20.00.
Participants can use their coupons to buy fresh
produce.
The Application Process is Quick and Easy!
To apply for a coupon booklet, older adults will need to complete an application that includes a short nutrition screening. Applicants qualify based on their age, county residency, and income. To be considered, applicants must be at least 60 years of age or older. Income limits are pretty generous. A single person can have an income of up to $1,679 a month and qualify, and couples can have up to $2,268 a month. Applications were mailed to previous program participants in June 2011. If you are new to the program and would like to apply, please download and complete an application. All completed applications may be dropped off or mailed to the OCCOA office as follows:
Attn: Wanda Cherwinski, SPF Coordinator
OCCOA
120 Grandview Blvd.
Gaylord, MI 49735
Once you have submitted your application, it will be reviewed, and you will be contacted should you qualify for the program. SPF coupon book recipients will have until October 31, 2011 to use their coupons.
Participants enjoy an end-of-year celebration for
the program.
