If you receive SNAP benefits (food stamps), you can get fresh fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods through various nutrition incentive programs.

Get the Good Stuff is a nutrition incentive program at certain NYC supermarkets. For every one dollar spent in SNAP (food stamps) benefits on eligible fresh, frozen, canned and dried fruits, vegetables and beans, participants get one dollar added to a program loyalty card to pay for their next purchase of eligible foods. 

Participants can earn up to $10 in incentives on their Get the Good Stuff card per day.

If you receive SNAP, you can get pre-assembled boxes of fresh produce for half the price.

Each box typically has 6 to 10 items of fresh, locally grown, high-quality produce. You must order your box one week in advance.

How it works:

  1. Preorder your box one week in advance at a participating site. At some sites, you can order online.
  2. Pay with your EBT card and get half off the purchase price.
  3. Pick up your box from the site the following week.
