3 Guys from Brooklyn pioneers ‘Get the Good Stuff’ produce program in Brooklyn
Three Guys From Brooklyn at 6502 Fort Hamilton Pkwy., a 24-hour produce market and grocery store, is fighting food insecurity by being the only Brooklyn supermarket in which Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/EBT) users can get free fruits and vegetables through a city matching-point program.
The program, known as Get the Good Stuff, is sponsored by the NYC Health Department. For every dollar you spend using SNAP/EBT on eligible fruits, vegetables and beans, you get a matching dollar in reward points (up to $10 per day) that can be used for the next purchase of eligible produce. The SNAP program was formerly known as the Food Stamp program.
Eligible foods include fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs, frozen fruits and vegetables without added sugar, salt or fat, canned and jarred fruits, vegetables, beans and lentils without added sugar, salt or fat.
