What is the Restaurant Meal Program (RMP)?

We are thrilled to announce that Caridad145 is now participating in the Restaurant Meal Program (RMP), allowing us to accept Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards for eligible meals. What is the Restaurant Meal Program (RMP)? The RMP is a state-approved initiative that allows qualified individuals—such as seniors, disabled adults, and unhoused individuals receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits—to purchase hot, prepared meals at approved restaurants.
