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.

Yes, you can only use your SNAP benefits to purchase food, and non-alcoholic beverages.

SNAP EBT transactions will be declined for two reasons: 1️⃣ You’re not enrolled in RMP—contact social services if you qualify. 2️⃣ Insufficient SNAP funds—check your balance before ordering. If declined, please pay with cash, card, or another method.

At Caridad145, we believe that good food should be accessible to everyone. By joining the RMP, we can provide nutritious, flavorful meals to those who may not have access to cooking facilities or need a convenient dining option.

If you qualify for SNAP RMP but don’t see "RP" next to your SNAP benefits on your EBT account statement, you need to 📞 Call the HRA Helpline directly to request to be enrolled: (718) 557-1399
