Veteran Services to Distribute Free Farmers Market Vouchers to County Veterans

MOUNT MORRIS, N.Y., June 23, 2026 — The Livingston County Veteran Services Agency (LCVSA) is offering up to $50 in free farmers market vouchers to active-duty service members, veterans and their families, including surviving spouses, in Livingston County through the New York State FreshConnect Checks Program.

The program helps residents purchase fresh, healthy foods from local sources. Recipients can use the vouchers at participating farmers markets throughout the state to purchase SNAP-eligible food items, including, but not limited to eggs, pasta, honey, maple syrup, dairy products, baked goods, breads, cereals, fruits, vegetables, meats, fish and poultry, and seeds or plants that will grow to produce foods. Vouchers are not redeemable for cash or change.

The vouchers will be available for pickup starting July 1 on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. LCVSA currently has enough vouchers to support 50 households. Eligible individuals can pick up their vouchers at the LCVSA office, located at 7 Murray Hill Dr., Mount Morris, N.Y. 14510. Pickup hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Those unable to pick up vouchers at these times may call LCVSA at 585-243-7960 to arrange an alternative pickup time.
