The Panama McCormack Foundation is a foundation that was started by Tom and Linda McCormack in order to “improve the quality of life for hard-working individuals and families in Panama”, as per their mission statement. Tom also owns and co-operates (with Linda) McCormack Apiaries in Aliquippa, which is a bee farm that produces honey that is sold at the Beaver and Ambridge Farmer’s Markets.

Tom McCormack joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County on April 30 to discuss the Panama McCormack Foundation, and its drive every year to collect prosthetic arms and legs, as well as other medical supplies for the citizens of Panama. Tom, a retired Vietnam veteran, spoke about what items are needed, and how they get sent to the country where he spends 6 months out of every calendar year. He also commented on his Apiary, where he houses bees away from pesticide-ridden areas.
