Through the collaboration between Walgreens and Instacart, the
companies are helping to broaden food access in communities where
more than 40 million people receive SNAP/EBT benefits.1
“Our collaboration with Instacart underscores Walgreens
commitment to expanding access to essential food items for our
customers,” said Balachandra Visalatha, SVP and chief product
officer at Walgreens. “By integrating SNAP/EBT payments, we are
making it easier for families and individuals to shop for the items
they need and offer an efficient, highly relevant customer
experience that meets their changing needs and preferences.”
Currently, most Walgreens stores accept SNAP/EBT for in-person
purchases. The collaboration with Instacart allows customers
nationwide to use SNAP/EBT at any Walgreens, eliminating the need
for transportation to the store. Walgreens is focused on enhancing
the front-of-store experience and creating the right omnichannel
solutions for our customers, while driving in-store
efficiencies.
“Through Instacart, 96% of U.S. households enrolled in SNAP can
use their benefits to shop for the essentials they need online.
We’re dedicated to offering the best online selection for SNAP
families, providing both access and choice through our
marketplace,” said Sarah Mastrorocco, vice president and general
manager of health at Instacart. “As we expand with trusted
retailers like Walgreens, we’re proud to help more families in more
communities get their essentials delivered.”
To order Walgreens SNAP-eligible items for delivery, customers
can visit www.instacart.com/walgreens or select the Walgreens
storefront in the Instacart mobile app. Customers simply add their
SNAP EBT card as a form of payment on their Instacart profile and
shop for SNAP-eligible items from the Walgreens or Duane Reade
storefront. At checkout, SNAP users can select how much of their
benefit they would like to allocate to eligible items in their
order.
