Food that nourishes and supports
Free meals and groceries for eligible New York Medicaid members, delivered fresh, right to your home.
Brooklyn Kitchen is proud to be your neighborhood nutrition provider. We deliver chef-crafted, restaurant-quality meals and fresh weekly groceries to help you manage your health — all at no cost to you, if you qualify.
You May Qualify for More Than You Know
Starting in 2025, New York expanded Medicaid benefits to provide members with the food and nutrition support they need. If you have Medicaid, you may qualify to receive free meals and groceries delivered straight to your home.
This benefit can include help with:
- Food and nutrition (our specialty)
- Housing and utilities assistance
- Transportation services
Important: These are additional, free benefits. They do not replace your current Medicaid, SNAP, or WIC benefits.
Food Is Medicine:
Why Nutrition Is Health Care
Research shows that what we eat is one of the best ways to support our health, and it starts right in your kitchen. Eating well-balanced meals daily is a proven way to remain healthy and support longevity.
Studies show that when people with chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease get the right food, they go to the hospital less often, feel better day to day, and can manage their health more easily at home.
This is why food is more than just fuel; it is part of how we care for our health.
At Brooklyn Kitchen, we bring this to life every day by delivering meals and groceries that support your health, reflect your culture, and taste good. Because eating well should feel like a benefit, not a burden.

Your Path to

You have a qualifying health condition, such as diabetes, heart disease, or another condition where healthy food can help improve your health.
A quick screening shows that you could use extra support with food.
