Today, DoorDash announced the release of an independent survey of SNAP consumers titled How Online Grocery Delivery with SNAP Broadens Food Access Across the U.S. which demonstrates that grocery delivery increases access to nutritious food, saves valuable time, and makes it easier for consumers to purchase affordable meals. DoorDash also announced SNAP/EBT availability with new merchants nationwide accepting SNAP/EBT on the DoorDash platform. Since launching SNAP on the DoorDash platform just one year ago, more than 1.8 million consumers have added their SNAP/EBT cards to DoorDash.
Accessibility and Time Savings
“I do not drive because of my disability and public transportation in my city is challenging. I also got sick recently and my normal trip to the grocery store that often takes a lot of coordination, energy, and time got delayed,” said one consumer. “So, knowing that DoorDash offers [the] use of SNAP benefits helped me tremendously to get food when I had many things running low, in particular healthy, fresh food, i.e. fruits and vegetables. This made my life a lot easier!”
Increased Comfort and Affordability

"Ending hunger takes us all doing our part. By adding more ways for people who use SNAP to access the groceries they need, DoorDash is breaking down barriers for thousands of people daily. DoorDash's research confirms what we've always known: that solutions like delivery reduce hunger, grow access, and eliminate stigma," said Eric Mitchell, President, Alliance to End Hunger. "We're proud to partner with DoorDash as they continue to broaden food access."
