To receive a Senior Tar Heel Card, a person must typically present two appropriate identifications, such as a driver's license and a social security card.
Honored throughout the state, this card extends the purchasing power of older adults, especially those living on low, fixed incomes. Businesses participate in recognizing the card and giving the discount as a gesture of appreciation to seniors for their many contributions to the community and state. Participating businesses typically display the Senior Tar Heel Card emblem decal, but seniors are encouraged to ask if the store honors the card even if there is no posted emblem. If you are a merchant or senior and want to learn more about this program, contact the Rowan County Senior Services Department.
