This year, we have observed the difficulties confronted by seniors in our community who rely on fixed incomes. The impact of pandemic rollbacks and inflation has been particularly challenging for seniors receiving SNAP benefits.
Considering these circumstances, we have actively collaborated with our caring community of businesses, organizations, and individuals to arrange an extraordinary Senior Day at the Growers Market.
A special thank you to all of our sponsors, the Fuquay-Varina Police Department, Wake County Food Security, the Poe Center for Health Education, AARP North Carolina, and all volunteers that will be helping us on July 8th.
First 130 Seniors aged 60+ on fixed incomes will receive $30 in Growers Market Vouchers to purchase fresh produce, proteins, cheese, and honey
First 50 seniors will receive a voucher for a 4oz jar of jelly courtesy of Sugar Hills Jam & More
Free ice cream for all visiting seniors courtesy of AARP North Carolina
Free Gift Basket Raffle for all visiting seniors worth over $400
