The Fund for Public Health in New York City (FPHNYC) and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s (NYC Health Department) Center for Health Equity and Community Wellness announce the expansion of the Get the Good Stuff program to supermarkets in communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, racism, and disinvestment. Through Get the Good Stuff, New Yorkers participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can earn $0.01 in reward points for every $0.01 spent in SNAP benefits on eligible fresh, frozen, canned and dried fruits, vegetables and beans.
The intent of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to identify up to eight supermarkets with capacity to electronically distribute incentives to shoppers through their point-of-sale systems. Supermarkets may apply for more than one store location; however, if applying for more than one location, each location requires a separate and complete application.
