Eat Well

Eat Well offers $80 per month for fruits and vegetables to eligible MAAME clients.

After enrollment, participants will receive a prepaid debit card in the mail from Eat Well. The card takes about 10-20 days to arrive in the mail. The card comes with instructions to activate the card by phone or online.

Once the card is activated, participants will have access to $80 per month for 6 months.

  • Participants can use the card to buy fresh, frozen, and canned fruits and vegetables with no added salts, sugars, or fats.

  • Participating Eat Well stores include Food Lion, Walmart, Instacart, CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General, and Family Dollar.

  • Eat Well benefits will not pay for any service or delivery fees associated with online retailers. Participants will need to enter an Eat Well card number and personal credit/debit card information as payment methods to redeem Eat Well benefits through these available retailers. 

  • Participants can choose their own fruits and vegetables to purchase.

  • Participants can spend their funds on multiple trips to the grocery store.
