      Interim Director Molly Schaeffer explains that program debit cards are strictly limited to grocery, deli, and botaca purchases, primarily for food and baby supplies.

      • Debit cards can only be used at groceries, delis, or botacas.
      • Cards are restricted to buying food, baby supplies, and other necessary items for kids or pregnant individuals.
      • Recipients must sign an affidavit, acknowledging the card's intended use.
      • The affidavit serves as an additional measure to ensure proper understanding and compliance with the program's terms.
