By using FMNP 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 four checks worth $5 each is distributed to eligible seniors each summer at scheduled sites throughout the country. 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. Forms are available at the Beaver County Office on Aging and on the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture website: agriculture.state.pa.us.
