DoorDash has added several grocery stories to its SNAP/EBT program.

DoorDash has expanded its SNAP/EBT payment offering with additional grocers, a move company officials said will make fresh food accessible to more people. 

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 from coast to coast.

Since launching support for SNAP/EBT payments in 2023, more than 1.1 million consumers have added their SNAP/EBT cards to DoorDash. Consumers can order SNAP-eligible groceries using their SNAP benefits through our platform from more than a dozen new grocers across the country. With the addition of these new partners, more than 6,000 locations nationwide will support SNAP/EBT payment capabilities on DoorDash for on-demand delivery of eligible grocery items.

Since DoorDash’s launch in 2023 with multiple grocery partners including Aldi, Albertsons, Safeway, Meijer, and participating 7-Eleven® stores:

  • Over 1 in 6 SNAP deliveries on DoorDash have been made to consumers living in food deserts;
  • 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%).

DoorDash’s work to broaden food access is also undergirded by Project DASH, our initiative to empower social impact organizations—such as food banks and pantries—to work with Dashers and use DoorDash technology to provide local delivery to their communities. Since 2018, Project DASH has powered more than 5 million deliveries of an estimated 80 million meals.

DoorDash is also offering two free months of DashPass offer to new DoorDash customers when they upload their SNAP/EBT card. DashPass members can access thousands of restaurants, grocery and convenience stores at affordable prices, with $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders. DashPass members save $5 per eligible order on average.
