Dollar General Teams With DoorDash To Accept SNAP/EBT Payments
DoorDash and Dollar General have teamed to bring SNAP/EBT payment capabilities to more than 16,000 Dollar General stores on the DoorDash Marketplace.
The new collaboration – enabled in partnership with Forage, the mission-driven payments company – gives SNAP recipients access to on-demand grocery delivery from Dollar General stores across 48 states. Through this partnership, SNAP-eligible products from Dollar General, including fresh and frozen foods, pantry essentials, snacks, and more are now available for purchase through the DoorDash Marketplace.
“Dollar General’s mission of Serving Others includes helping customers save time and money everyday. Unlocking the ability for SNAP/EBT recipients to shop online and have groceries delivered straight to their door through DoorDash provides even more accessibility and convenience,” said Tony Rogers, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Dollar General. “With approximately 75% of the U.S. located within five miles of a DG store, we are proud to bridge gaps to serve the communities we call home.”
As one of the largest online marketplaces to offer SNAP/EBT recipients access to grocery delivery across the country, DoorDash connects 99% of its monthly active consumers in the U.S. with at least one store accepting SNAP on the Marketplace.
“At DoorDash, our commitment to fighting food insecurity remains at the core of our mission, and we continue to prioritize unlocking more on-demand delivery options for the more than 2.4 million consumers who have added their SNAP/EBT card to DoorDash,” said Fuad Hannon, vice president of New Verticals at DoorDash. “We’re proud to collaborate with Dollar General to further this commitment, ensuring even more SNAP beneficiaries nationwide can conveniently access fresh, affordable groceries with the dignity and ease they deserve.”
To further the commitment to reduce hunger nationwide, DoorDash offers a one-year discounted DashPass plan for SNAP/EBT recipients. Eligible consumers who sign up for the plan can enjoy one year of DashPass benefits – such as $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders, exclusive offers, and more – for just $4.99/month.
