Buy food online with an EBT card food stamps

If you are a SNAP beneficiary, you can pay online for various services. One of these cases is DoorDash, the most popular food delivery service in the US. Holders of these EBT cards also gain the ability to make online purchases at Safeway, Amazon and Walmart.

The use of EBT cards from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is becoming more widespread every day, a feature that its beneficiaries always appreciate.

Remember that Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards were created after food stamps proved too expensive to produce, distribute, and destroy. Hence, the US government decided to go electronic.

The EBT distribution system allows beneficiaries of CalFresh, CalWORKs, SNAP and other programs to access their money.

Likewise, you can buy food using a card that works like a debit card.

The main idea is to prevent the elderly, especially, from leaving home to buy their basic food items.

Now, with the use of cards on various online platforms, users can purchase goods from home and receive them at home.

DoorDash via EBT

If you want to use the DoorDash platform to buy groceries online, you first need to download the app from the App Store or Google Play Store. You can also access it from the official website to place orders and get them delivered to your home.

Generally, there are additional costs such as shipping, service or distance fees. Regular customers have a better option: sign up for DashPass.

The company offers two months free to SNAP recipients, after which it's $9.99 USD per month.

SNAP benefits with an EBT card can be used on DoorDash purchases in many places. For example, they include: Safeway, Albertsons, ALDI, Meijer, Vons, Pavilions, Acme, Kings and 7-Eleven.
