Uber Welcomes New Retailers to its SNAP EBT Program

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Uber Eats (NYSE:UBER) today announced the arrival of even more grocery and convenience selection for consumers shopping with SNAP benefits across the country. Wegmans, Gopuff and Family Dollar join a growing list of grocery merchants and convenience retailers accepting SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) payment for purchases made on Uber Eats. The increasing selection reinforces Uber Eats' commitment to expand food accessibility and support communities in need. Eligible customers can now use their SNAP EBT benefits to order groceries from participating locations through the Uber Eats app, with payments powered by Forage, the mission-driven payments company. In the months ahead, Uber teams will work to add even more retailers who will accept SNAP EBT payments on Uber Eats orders, including those that are new to Uber Eats.

"This expansion gives SNAP recipients access to tens of thousands of new stores — from national chains to local grocers — all through the Uber Eats app," said Ofek Lavian, co-founder and CEO of Forage. "We're proud to power the technology behind it, helping more families use their benefits with confidence and convenience." As Uber Eats continues to innovate and expand its services, the company remains dedicated to addressing food insecurity and fostering inclusive communities. This payment option is a vital step in achieving that goal, removing barriers and allowing all people and families to make healthy choices. For improved convenience, customers can now browse through a wide range of SNAP-enabled retailers and grocery items within the app via the new SNAP icon. To highlight the growing selection of retailers and offer greater value, EBT cardholders will receive $0 Delivery Fee on their first three SNAP-eligible orders. Additionally, eligible EBT cardholders can currently receive a limited-time free trial of Uber One, which includes a $0 Delivery Fee on all eligible food, groceries, and more + other benefits, when they link their EBT card in the Uber Eats app. As part of our ongoing commitment to affordability and access, Uber Eats is exploring additional ways to support SNAP users through future promotions.
