Food & Nutrition Services in Manhattan and Queens, NY
Apicha believes nutritious food is medicine. We offer Food & Nutrition
services to provide the education and resources to make good choices about
what they eat. These include SNAP enrollment assistance, HIV Nutrition
Health Education, and access to a registered dietitian.
SNAP Benefits and Resources
SNAP stands for the “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,”
formerly known as food stamps. SNAP helps New Yorkers buy food.
It is a program that offers nutrition assistance to over a million eligible,
low-income New Yorkers, including families, the elderly, and the disabled.
SNAP provides monthly funds on an electronic benefit card for use to buy
food and groceries.
If you need help buying groceries, find out if you’re eligible by
contacting our Nutrition Outreach and Education Program (NOEP) Coordinators.
If you’re eligible, we’ll help you apply for SNAP.

of individuals living with HIV. A balanced diet not only helps maintain
a healthy weight, strengthens the immune system, and helps keep you healthy.
Apicha's HIV Nutrition Health Education program helps people living with
HIV by providing them with the knowledge and resources to make informed
decisions about their diet and lifestyle.
