Farmers Market Vouchers

Farmers Market Coupons (vouchers) are provided by the West Virginia Department of Agriculture. These may be exchanged for fresh, unprepared, locally-grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey from participating farmers markets. Participants are encouraged to use the entire value of each voucher. Change cannot be given for any unused portion.

Application Process:

Individuals aged 60 and above who meet income guidelines can call or stop into their local senior center to determine eligibility and sign up for the Farmers’ Market Coupons (vouchers) in June of each year. We expect to have the Farmers Market Vouchers available to distribute starting July 1st.

Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP)

Staying warm in winter can be a financial hardship for seniors on fixed incomes and individuals with lower incomes. The Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) helps bring down the winter heating costs for eligible individuals. Low-income households can apply for assistance in the form of periodic payments made directly to their utility company on their behalf. The credit will be applied to the utility account. Households experiencing a heating emergency may be eligible for emergency crisis assistance through this program, as well.

Application Process

Applicants must meet LIEAP eligibility guidelines to qualify for assistance through this program, with applications accepted beginning November each year. We can help you complete and submit your application for assistance through this and other available programs in Lincoln and Wayne County, WV. If you prefer, you may submit your application directly.
