Last June, DoorDash began accepting SNAP EBT payments for on-demand delivery of eligible grocery items, enabling retailers on its platform like Meijer, Safeway, Albertsons and Aldi to accept SNAP payments via DoorDash’s app. Since then, more than 1.1 million shoppers have added their SNAP EBT cards to DoorDash, Fuad Hannon, vice president of New Verticals at DoorDash, said in a statement.
“This collaboration with DoorDash means our shoppers can now get essential grocery items when they want, regardless of payment method and other barriers like work schedules and transportation,” Balachandra Visalatha, senior vice president and chief product officer at Walgreens, said in a statement. “Walgreens is a go-to destination for daily needs for our shoppers, and we continue to find solutions that make their shopping experience simpler so they can get access to healthier food options.”
