Muskegon County voters passed a 0.5 mill Senior Millage in 2016. The funds collected are awarded to organizations that apply through a grant process administered by Senior Resources, with approval by the Muskegon County Commission. Service providers and municipalities receive funding that support the independence of older adults or enrich their lives through senior focused programing.
Since 2020, some of this funding has been sent directly to Muskegon County municipalities. Fruitland Township applies for and receives an allocation of this funding each year. The Township Board then decides how to use that funding to support Fruitland Township Senior Residents.
Fruitland Township has received its allocation of the 2026-2027 Senior Millage Grant funds. The Township Board voted to use the funding to support our senior residents by supporting the White Lake Senior Center, partnering with AgeWell Services of West Michigan, hosting a Senior Palooza event and by providing vouchers for our Ecology Station, the Montague Farmer’s Market, the Muskegon Farmer’s Market, and the White River Light Station. All persons 60 years of age or older shall be eligible for all of the services mentioned.
For 2026, each HOUSEHOLD will be eligible for ONE of EACH of the following vouchers.
· Ecology Station – $20 punch card
· Montague Farmer’s Market – $10 coupon
· Muskegon Farmer’s Market – $10 tokens
· White River Light Station – one ticket per individual (two per household)
There are a few options to reserve your vouchers:
· The easiest and most efficient way to get your vouchers is to fill out the form at below.
· If you are unable to fill out the form online, you can call the Township Hall during normal business hours, Monday – Thursday, 7:30am – 4:30pm
· Visit Senior Palooza on Saturday, June 27, 2026 to order and/or pick up in person
If you order on the website or by phone, your vouchers will be ready to be picked up the following business day. During especially busy times, we may need you to be patient while we assist other residents.
