Instacart has integrated EBT SNAP benefits with Aldi, allowing EBT SNAP participants to access fresh food and pantry stables from the grocer via Instacart’s same-day delivery and pickup services. The multi-phased launch will begin in the coming weeks across more than 60 Aldi stores, with plans to expand to more than 570 stores across Illinois, California, Florida, and Pennsylvania in the coming months.
"At Instacart, our mission is to create a world where everyone has access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together. As the nation continues to grapple with the effects of COVID-19, we recognize Instacart has an opportunity to increase access to fresh, nutritious food and pantry staples by unlocking EBT SNAP payments for online grocery delivery and pickup services in communities across the country," said Nilam Ganenthiran, president of Instacart, in a statement. "It's incredibly important to us to support the communities in which our own employees live and work, so we're excited to start this program in Georgia, which is home to our Atlanta-based customer and shopper care team. We're proud to partner with Aldi on this important initiative and are committed to being a long-term solution for EBT SNAP households and connecting everyone, no matter who they are or where they live, to the groceries and essential goods they need."
