Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

Beaver County Office on Aging
Farmers Market Hotline
(724) 847-2262

By using SFMNP checks—administered in Beaver County through Beaver County Office on Aging—older adults can purchase and enjoy the benefits of locally grown produce. One set of five checks is distributed to eligible seniors each summer at scheduled sites throughout the county. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture sets the value of the checks each year. Recipients must be age 60 or older, live in Beaver County, not live in a residential facility, and meet income guidelines. Checks are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Eligible seniors not physically able to get to a site can designate a proxy to pick up and redeem the checks. Proxy forms are available at the Beaver County Office on Aging and on the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture website at agriculture.pa.gov.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps) helps low-income individuals and families to buy the food they need for good health. Benefits are provided on an electronic card that is used like an ATM card and accepted at most grocery stores.

To apply, fill out an application at your local County Assistance Office at (724) 773-7300 or (800) 653-3129, Department of Human Services (800) 692-7462/TDD: (800) 451-5886 or fill out an online form at COMPASS, https://www.compass.dhs.pa.gov/home/.

  • The following persons may apply:
  • The head of the household.
  • The spouse of the head of household.
  • Any other responsible household member.
  • A designated authorized representative (a friend, relative, neighbor or anyone the applicant trusts to go food shopping).

SNAP Program Income Guidelines:

Household
Size
Maximum Gross Monthly Income
(Age 59 and Under)
Maximum Net
Monthly Income
(Age 60+or Disabled)
Maximum Benefit Amount
1 $2,510 $1,255 $292
2 $3,408 $1,704 $536
3 $4,304 $2,152 $768
4 $5,200 $2,600 $975

Note: In Pennsylvania, households with an elderly (age 60+) or disabled member only need to meet the net income limit (100% of federal poverty). They can also deduct out-of-pocket medical expenses, which can further reduce their countable income. Income guidelines are effective October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025.

Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels is an ideal program for older adults who are homebound and unable to shop for food or physically prepare their own meals.

Each meal is nutritionally sound and meets two-thirds of seniors’ Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). Hours and days of operation vary by location (see list below) but meals are generally served Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and noon. Consumers are asked to donate an average of $20 to $25 per week for meals.
