DoorDash is now accepting SNAP benefits as payment at over 15,000 grocery stores.
Cheryl Young, a spokesperson for the delivery company, said the program has seen major success since it started in June 2023. Since then, 1.8 million customers have added their EBT cards to their account.
"Overall, we've heard how critical the service is," said Young. "We're fulfilling the need that our customers are looking for."
One in five people in Shelby County are food insecure and almost 179,000 receive food stamps.
The program helps make food more accessible by providing more options for people in food deserts and people who may not have reliable transportation.
