Southeastern Grocers partnership expands grocery delivery for SNAP recipients
Forage announces a key partnership with Southeastern Grocers that will transform grocery access for SNAP EBT recipients in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. SNAP beneficiaries can now use their benefits to order groceries for delivery from neighborhood Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie locations through DoorDash.
This partnership offers convenience and flexibility for SNAP recipients, while also enhancing accessibility for those with disabilities, caregivers with limited time to shop and families in food deserts with limited transportation options to provide a lifeline for neighbors in need.
“Forage was founded on the belief that everyone deserves convenient access to healthy, affordable food,” said Ofek Lavian, co-founder and CEO of Forage, “By facilitating online SNAP transactions with partners like Southeastern Grocers, we’re closing the gap for underserved communities and providing essential groceries directly to their doorstep.”
Forage and SEG’s partnership will serve over 6 million Americans across the Southeast who rely on SNAP benefits. The new partnership will provide SEG’s customers with convenient access to nutritious foods through grocery delivery and aligns with Forage’s ongoing commitment to fight food insecurity through technological innovation.
Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie customers can log in to the DoorDash app, add their EBT card as a payment method and shop online for eligible items. The integration also allows users to check their EBT balance at checkout and use multiple payment methods to cover non-SNAP items, empowering recipients to easily use their benefits to have fresh, quality food delivered.
