Grocers, DoorDash Expand SNAP Access

Across the U.S., Acme Markets, Food City, Hy-Vee, Jewel-Osco, Kings Food Markets, Pavilions, Randalls, Shaw’s, Sprouts Farmers Market, Star Market, Stater Bros. Markets, Tom Thumb, and Vons will offer eligible customers the ability to leverage their SNAP/EBT benefits when ordering online groceries through DoorDash’s platform, the online grocery service said Wednesday.

DoorDash also said it is offering two free months of the app’s member service DashPass to new DoorDash customers when they upload their SNAP/EBT card.

Consumers can use the service to purchase locally grown produce, prime-cut meats, fish, imported cheeses, international products, and a selection of natural and organic foods.

Since launching support for SNAP/EBT payments in 2023, over 1.1 million consumers have added their SNAP/EBT cards to DoorDash, said the company. With the addition of these new partners, over 6,000 locations will support SNAP/EBT payment capabilities on DoorDash for on-demand delivery of eligible grocery items.

The online delivery service also said that the recent expansion means that it has largely fulfilled its commitment to provide on-demand delivery of SNAP-eligible groceries to people across all 50 states and DC as part of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.
