SNAP shoppers across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic can now use their EBT benefits to order groceries from Ahold Delhaize USA brands on Uber Eats, powered by Forage.

At nearly 2,000 participating store locations—including Food Lion, GIANT, MARTIN’S, Giant Food, Hannaford, and Stop & Shop—shoppers can now pay for grocery orders with SNAP EBT, enabled through Uber's partnership with Forage. Customers need only open the Uber Eats app, tap "Grocery," choose a participating store, and check out with their benefits.

“Customers expect flexibility in how they shop, and that means meeting them wherever they are,” said Keith Nicks, Chief Commercial and Digital Officer, Ahold Delhaize USA. “This partnership reinforces our brands’ commitments to being leading omnichannel retailers, making it even easier for customers to access the brands they know and trust.”

Expanding access to healthy, affordable food

For the roughly 40 million Americans who rely on SNAP, this partnership is about expanding access to healthy, affordable food. Many SNAP recipients are older adults, people with disabilities, or people who work multiple jobs. For these Americans, grocery delivery isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

"Ahold Delhaize USA brands’ stores are part of the fabric of daily life for millions of American families, including many who rely on SNAP," said Ofek Lavian, CEO and co-founder of Forage. "Our partnership enables those families to shop at stores they love and pay with benefits they depend on.”

For nearly 150 years, Ahold Delhaize USA brands have been cornerstones of the communities they serve. Today, roughly 26 million people shop with them each week. Ahold Delhaize USA is the East Coast’s largest grocery retail group, and yet they make a conscious effort to stay local, keeping close to the customers who count on them for access to healthy, affordable food.

Bringing online EBT to Ahold Delhaize USA brands via Uber Eats means that families across the East Coast can shop the stores they love, on a platform they already use, and pay with ease.
