DoorDash has significantly expanded its SNAP/EBT payment system through a partnership with Kroger, bringing grocery delivery to nearly 2,700 Kroger-owned stores across the United States. This expansion aims to enhance grocery access for low-income households, particularly in underserved areas where access to fresh food is limited. By the end of 2025, over 4.5 million users are expected to have linked their SNAP cards to DoorDash, which now connects them to more than 57,000 stores accepting SNAP/EBT payments. This partnership is crucial as SNAP users are often located in food deserts, where grocery access is challenging. To encourage new users, DoorDash is waiving delivery fees for first-time orders made with an EBT card, making it easier for eligible households to utilize the service. The initiative underscores DoorDash's commitment to improving food accessibility and addressing food insecurity in communities nationwide.
