With the government shut down and SNAP benefits in limbo, food security is top of mind for a lot of New Yorkers. 

Amelia Tarpey is a program and publicity manger for GrowNYC Greenmarkets. She said anyone who has money left on their EBT cards can stretch those dollars at city Greenmarkets. Recipients get $2 for every $2 spent at Greenmarkets, up to $10 daily.  Also, any shopper can buy an extra bag produce that'll then be donated to someone who needs it.
