DoorDash says it has expanded its Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Electronic Benefit Transfer payment capabilities on the DoorDash Marketplace to nearly 2,700 Kroger stores, including banners such as Mariano’s, Fred Meyer and Ralphs.
DoorDash says with this launch, millions of SNAP-eligible consumers can now shop online for fresh groceries and more from Kroger stores and have them delivered through DoorDash, which helps expand access to affordable food.
SNAP consumers can use their benefits to purchase eligible items, including produce, meat, dairy, frozen foods and other essentials, via the DoorDash Marketplace. DoorDash says it will also offer $0 delivery fees for a limited time on the first order from the Kroger family of brands when consumers pay with an EBT card.
The company says that with the addition of Kroger, now more than 4.5 million consumers have added their SNAP card to DoorDash, and the platform includes more than 57,000 stores that accept SNAP and EBT payments.
“Access to affordable food is fundamental,” says Mike Goldblatt, vice president of enterprise partnerships at DoorDash. “This collaboration with Kroger marks an important step forward for SNAP access nationwide. Together, we’re helping millions of consumers shop more conveniently for the groceries their households rely on every day.”
