County Executive Lamont G. McClure\u00a0and Area Agency on Aging remind eligible County residents about the continuation of the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Since June, vouchers worth $50 have been available to Northampton County residents who meet the eligibility criteria.\u00a0The coupons are distributed by the Northampton County Area Agency on Aging.<\/p>\n

Northampton County residents age 60 or over who meet income eligibility (for example, $27,861\/yr. for a single person in 2024 and $37,814 for a couple) may receive the coupons. For married couples, both spouses may obtain coupons. All persons wishing to receive coupons must present proof of age and residence. Program policies allow one to\u00a0obtain\u00a0coupons for another person only if they have a completed and signed proxy form.\u00a0Additionally, a person may only serve as a proxy for up to four other participants, and identification with date of birth and address\u00a0of the older adult\u00a0must\u00a0be shown\u00a0when presenting a proxy.\u00a0This form will be available for pick-up at the AAA office (2801 Emrick Boulevard, Bethlehem), at all County Senior Centers, and by clicking\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The SFMNP does not include seniors who live in nursing homes, convents, or residential facilities where meals are provided.<\/p>\n

Persons may only receive coupons once during the program, from June 1, 2024, until September 13, 2024. Coupons began being issued on June 3, 2024 and will run until September 13, 2024. Coupons may be redeemed between June 1, 2024, and November 30, 2024.<\/p>\n

Eligible County residents may email completed applications to\u00a0FMNP@norcopa.gov<\/a>\u00a0or mail completed applications to Northampton County AAA (2801 Emrick Blvd, Bethlehem, PA 18020), and the vouchers will be mailed to their home. Residents may also visit the Northampton County Human Services Building (2801 Emrick Blvd, Bethlehem, PA 18020) with valid ID and get the vouchers the same day. DHS distribution days are Tuesdays from 8:30 a.m. \u2013 11:30 a.m. and Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. \u2013 4:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
