The program
Nourishing support, built around your household.
We help eligible New Yorkers explore food assistance options and connect them with a team that follows up personally.
Personal follow-up
A team member reviews your intake and calls you in your preferred language.
Nutrition-first
Options focus on wholesome food for pregnant members, new parents and families.
No guesswork
We explain what may be available and what's needed — no automatic approvals or denials.
Eligibility screening
Three quick questions to start.
Our intake begins with a short screening. Your answers help us understand whether this program may be a fit — the final decision is always made after a staff review.
- 1Do you have Medicaid?
- 2Is the eligible member pregnant?
- 3Do you have a baby under one year old?
Meals or groceries — your choice.
