Today, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with DoorDash to scale SNAP EBT acceptance across the app. Our work together will expand EBT as a payment method on DoorDash, and broaden access to food for the 42 million Americans receiving EBT benefits. For those living in food deserts or living with disabilities and mobility challenges, grocery delivery is more than a convenience, it’s a lifeline. “Our partnership with Forage supports our commitment to increase access to food for vulnerable communities,” said Fuad Hannon, VP of New Verticals at DoorDash. “Growing the acceptance of SNAP/EBT payments can help families meet childcare and work obligations, relieve seniors of the potential stress of going to the grocery store, and support people with disabilities who face mobility issues. We’re thrilled to further broaden access to food with on-demand delivery via DoorDash.” #groceryretail #payments #paymentsolutions
