DoorDash adds new SNAP grocery partners

Delivery platform DoorDash is expanding the number of retailers it accepts SNAP/EBT payments with, expanding access for consumers.

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 consumers more choices to leverage their SNAP/EBT benefits when ordering online groceries. Consumers can purchase produce, meats, fish, cheeses, international products, a wide selection of natural and organic foods, including bulk foods and more at affordable prices.

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

DoorDash’s SNAP/EBT expansion will help expand access to those without many grocery options. According to the company, 49% of SNAP deliveries on DoorDash have been made to consumers living in low-income communities; 28% of SNAP deliveries on DoorDash have been made to consumers living in census tracts with a higher rate of seniors than the national average (16%); and 47% of SNAP deliveries on DoorDash have been made to consumers living in census tracts with higher rates of people with disabilities than the national average (12.7%).

Last month, DoorDash joined the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health, pledging to increase the availability of produce in its marketplace by partnering with local, regional and national grocers across the U.S. It also pledged to increase the number of healthy products available in DoorDash DashMart, which offers online storefronts stocked with household essentials and restaurant products provided by local retailers for on-demand delivery.

Founded in 2013, DoorDash offers deliveries in more than 25 countries.
