Your information is private. We use it only to check what you qualify for and to arrange your services.

It's personalized

Every family is different. Our team will learn what matters to you and arrange support that fits your faith, culture, and daily life.

It's in your language

We offer support in multiple languages, including Urdu, Arabic, and more. Our team comes from many different backgrounds, so you can speak with someone who understands yours.

It's voluntary

Taking part will not affect your Medicaid. You can stop at any time.

No. Sufrah Meals is a free program for people with Medicaid. There is no cost to find out what services you may be able to get. If you qualify, there is no cost for the services either.

Yes. Sufrah Meals exists to bring these Medicaid benefits to New York's Muslim community, so every meal and grocery option offered is halal.

New York State Medicaid offers these services because staying healthy involves more than doctor visits. Things like what you eat, the conditions you live in, and the stress in your life affect your health too. Medicaid funds services that help with these things. Our job at Sufrah Meals is to check if you qualify and connect you with Provision NYC, an approved Social Care Network provider, to arrange services for you.

No. Sufrah Meals helps you access the services that are already available to you through Medicaid. You choose whether to take part, and you can stop at any time. Your other Medicaid benefits will not be affected.

Usually, you can get the services, for example free meals, for 6 months at a time. If you still need the services after that, they may be renewed for another 6 months.

Even if you're not eligible, others in your household may be. Check for your whole family. Also, even if no one in your household qualifies right now, you may be able to get support in the future, if something changes. You can reach out again if anything changes. For example, if you become pregnant, you may then qualify.

The form takes you to Provision NYC's registration page. A team member will call you within a few working days to learn more about your situation and explain your options.

On the form, you will need to fill out some details about yourself so that we can find out if you qualify for support services. We'll need:

  • your address
  • your Medicaid coverage status
  • details of family members on Medicaid
  • how you'd like to receive support (for example, would you like to receive cooked halal meals or do you prefer groceries to cook yourself?)

Sufrah Meals connects you with halal-friendly services that make day-to-day life a little easier and help you stay healthy. Depending on your situation, you may be able to get help with:

  • Food — home-delivered halal meals, fresh halal groceries, and meals made to fit your health needs.
  • Housing — help with rent, utility bills, and home problems like mold or rodents. Support finding or moving into a new home.
  • Transportation — help getting to and from medical appointments.
  • Guidance — a team available to help you find out what you can get and make sure you get it.

Not everyone can get every service. Fill out the form and we'll let you know what's available for you.
