With the addition of Walgreens, DoorDash more than doubles the
number of stores available for on-demand delivery with SNAP/EBT
payments on DoorDash. We continue to broaden food access by
offering SNAP/EBT access to more than 14 million people who are
living in food deserts, and over 40 million people living in
communities where over 1 in 10 households receive SNAP/EBT
benefits.
“Since launching support for SNAP/EBT payments in 2023, over 1.1
million consumers have added their SNAP/EBT cards to DoorDash,”
said Fuad Hannon, VP of New Verticals. “This first-of-its-kind
partnership with Walgreens offers convenient and critical access to
food and pantry essentials for families and individuals across the
country. We’re proud to remove as many barriers as possible when it
comes to connecting people with food, wherever they live and
however they choose to shop.”
As prices continue to rise on groceries and household
essentials, consumers can order SNAP-eligible products using their
SNAP benefits from their local Walgreens through DoorDash.
Walgreens will offer more than 4,000 SNAP-eligible products for
delivery within an hour on DoorDash.1 Whether it’s stocking up on
breakfast essentials including milk, oatmeal, or juice, or pantry
staples such as nuts, bars, or snacks, consumers can shop the
Walgreens marketplace directly on the DoorDash app to fulfill their
grocery needs quickly and affordably.
“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,”
said Balachandra Visalatha, SVP, Chief Product Officer at
Walgreens. “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.”
DoorDash is one of the largest online marketplaces to offer
SNAP/EBT recipients’ access to grocery delivery across the country.
Now, nearly all DoorDash’s monthly active users have access to a
SNAP store across all 50 states and Washington D.C. To further our
commitment to increase access to food, DoorDash is excited to offer
SNAP/EBT consumers, who are currently not DashPass subscribers, $0
delivery fee on up to 3 orders paid with SNAP at Walgreens.*
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.
Currently, Walgreens stores accept SNAP/EBT in-person at most
locations. This collaboration with DoorDash allows shoppers across
the nation to use SNAP/EBT at any Walgreens, regardless of where
they live.
