Bringing the roster of partner retailers that accept SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) EBT payments to more than 50, Uber Eats has added Wegmans, Gopuff and Family Dollar. Uber Eats has added a SNAP icon in its app to highlight the growing selection of retailers that accept EBT payments, and is offering $0 delivery fees to EBT cardholders for their first three SNAP-eligible orders.
Payments to Uber Eats’ SNAP-eligible U.S. retailers are managed by Forage. “This expansion gives SNAP recipients access to tens of thousands of new stores — from national chains to local grocers — all through the Uber Eats app,” said Ofek Lavian, Co-founder and CEO of Forage in a statement.
“We believe that everyone deserves the convenience of delivery, and with this growing list of merchant partners we can continue to provide access to the fresh food that families and individuals need, especially those without access to reliable transportation for whom food delivery can be a lifeline,” said Hashim Amin, Head of Grocery and Retail Delivery at Uber North America in a statement
