Instacart and Aldi have expanded their partnership to provide online payment for EBT SNAP recipients at 1,000 additional Aldi stores across 23 states and Washington D.C. This follows the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service’s more recent approval allowing the retailers to move forward with the expansion.
"Our mission is to create a world where everyone has access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together. Today, we're proud to further our mission and continue our commitment to being a long-term solution for EBT SNAP households across America," said Andrew Nodes, vice president of retail at Instacart, in a statement. "As the country continues to grapple with COVID-19, we recognize the important role Instacart and its retail partners play in making same-day grocery delivery and pickup available to more people nationwide. We're proud of the work we've done with ALDI and the USDA Food and Nutrition Service to unlock EBT SNAP online payments for more families, and we look forward to continuing to expand this important program."
"Aldi is proud to be the first grocery retailer to accept EBT SNAP benefits as a form of payment online via Instacart for grocery delivery and Curbside pickup," said Scott Patton, vice president, national customer interaction services for Aldi U.S., in a statement. "This service is now available at nearly 90 percent of Aldi stores, across 29 states and Washington, D.C., following successful pilots in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas."
