This year, the Farmer's Market application will be online.

CLICK HERE to go to the application page.

Many eligible Ohioans ages 60 and older will now have the choice to use a mobile application or a physical card to obtain nutritious produce at farmers markets across the state.

All qualifying Ohioans receive $50 each year to be used at farmers markets throughout the state. Traditionally, participants received benefits in the form of printed coupons in units of $5. Now, through the new app-based model, participants can use their benefits in in any increment they choose, creating more flexibility and giving more power to older Ohioans.

You are eligible for the Ohio Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program if:

• • You are age 60 or older,
• • You have an active email account
• • You live in Medina county, and
• • You have a household income that falls within 185% of the poverty level:

Starting May 28, 2024 our office will be available to help coordinate access to these benefits. Please call 330-723-9514 to schedule an appointment.

Medina County Office for Older Adults has a full service senior center available to all residents of the County! Our daily offerings include lunches, exercise classes, billiards, educational opportunities, art classes, support groups, entertainment and health checks. We have recently renovated the space with new carpet, paint and a state-of-the-art kitchen remodel. We have no-touch computer check-in and many sanitizing stations to keep everyone safe. We look forward to welcoming you into the center – call or stop by today!

The past three years have been challenging to be sure, but also extremely successful in many ways. We discovered as an agency that we can adapt our services to continue to meet the needs of seniors in the community. We developed new programming in 2020, such as Shop for a Senior, which later fit perfectly into our new volunteer program, Compassion in Action, which began in 2022. We were able to bring Medina County Adult Protective Service under the MCOOA umbrella in 2021. Having these services as part of MCOOA expands the wrap around services available to seniors of Medina County.

The agency began the 2023-2025 strategic planning session with a community survey in September 2022. These survey results were taken and discussed at our strategic planning session, which took place on October 5, 2022. The strategic planning team included senior center participants, staff, advisory council members and foundation board members. The report before you is a result of the survey and the work session.

Take this opportunity to read through the document and see the improvements, changes and expansions that we are planning over the next three years. We continue to strive for the best for the seniors of Medina County.
