NEW YORK (PIX11) — If you receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, there’s another program that you should know about.
The New York City Health Department offers SNAP recipients a way to get free fruits, vegetables, and beans at select supermarkets across the city through its Get the Good Stuff program.
You can get a dollar for every dollar spent using SNAP/EBT on eligible fruits, vegetables, and beans, which can be used for the next purchase of eligible foods.
The program matches up to $10 per day. The money is added to a Get the Good Stuff pink card, which is scanned at the register before you pay.
How do I enroll in the program?
To enroll, you simply need to visit one of the participating supermarkets listed below and tell either the customer service desk or a cashier that you would like to sign up for a pink card.
What falls under eligible foods?
Eligible foods include:
Fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs
Frozen fruits, vegetables, and beans without added sugar, salt, or fat
Canned and jarred fruits, vegetables, beans, and lentils without added sugar, salt, or fat
Dried beans, lentils, fruits, and vegetables without added sugar, salt, or fat
