Every day, millions of consumers look for affordable ways to set the table with their favorite dishes. Today, DoorDash (NASDAQ: DASH), the local commerce platform, is proud to expand its SNAP/EBT payment offering with additional grocers to make fresh food accessible to more people. Since launching support for SNAP/EBT payments in 2023, over 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 over a dozen new grocers across the country.

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. Consumers can purchase locally-grown produce, prime cut meats, the freshest fish, imported cheeses, international products, a wide selection of natural and organic foods, including bulk foods and more at affordable prices. DoorDash is one of the largest online marketplaces to offer SNAP/EBT recipients access to grocery delivery across the country.

We are proud to continue to broaden food access by offering SNAP/EBT to more than 11 million people who are living in food deserts, and over 30 million people living in communities where over 1 in 10 households receive SNAP/EBT benefits, according to data compiled by DoorDash. Since our launch last year 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 mission has been to empower local economies. We’re proud that we’ve largely fulfilled our commitment as part of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health and provide on-demand delivery of SNAP-eligible groceries to people across all 50 states and DC.
