DoorDash and Walgreens launch access for SNAP customers

DoorDash and Walgreens today announced a new collaboration to offer SNAP/EBT payment at nearly 7,800 Walgreens stores across the country. DoorDash is the first platform that enables SNAP customers to make purchases directly from Walgreens using their SNAP/EBT cards. In addition, DoorDash is the first third-party delivery service provider (DSP) to offer SNAP/EBT as a payment option at a major drugstore nationwide.

With the addition of Walgreens, DoorDash more than doubles the number of stores available for on-demand delivery with SNAP/EBT payments on DoorDash. The delivery company continues to broaden food access by offering SNAP/EBT 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.”

Walgreens will offer more than 4,000 SNAP-eligible products for delivery within an hour on DoorDash. 

“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.
