Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – AgeLinc is asking everyone who picked up a 2025 Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program coupon book to pause using the coupons. A State of Illinois funding delay was just announced to us, and as a result checks can’t clear right now. We want to protect both you and our local growers, and are asking that you do not attempt to redeem these coupons until further notice.

What you should do if you have a coupon book:

  • Hold onto your booklet—do NOT spend the coupons yet.
  • Keep it somewhere safe; the coupons will still be valid once the issue is fixed.

How you’ll know when it’s OK to spend the coupons:

We’ll post the updates on  on Facebook, and release an official update as soon as the State confirms funds are in place.

Thank you for your patience and partnership in keeping this vital program running smoothly.
