Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Thursday that New York City will expand Get the Good Stuff, a program that gives people enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program a dollar-for-dollar match on fresh fruits, vegetables and beans, to as many as 12 additional supermarkets. The expansion would raise the number of participating stores by 57 percent, from the 21 now in the program.

Under Get the Good Stuff, every dollar a SNAP recipient spends on eligible produce earns a matching dollar, up to $10 a day, that can be applied toward future purchases of the same eligible foods. Qualifying items include fresh, frozen, canned and dried fruits, vegetables and beans without added sugar, salt or fat.

The NYC Health Department is running the expansion in partnership with the Fund for Public Health NYC. Mamdani secured $3.1 million in annual baseline funding for the program in the fiscal year 2027 budget, and the expansion is supported by a $5.7 million grant awarded to the Health Department through the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, a competitive federal grant that funds initiatives to increase fruit and vegetable purchases among SNAP recipients.
