This initiative represents a significant advancement in digital food access equity. By integrating SNAP EBT payments, Uber is addressing critical barriers faced by food-insecure populations, particularly the elderly and those with transportation options. The partnership with established retailers creates a robust infrastructure for food delivery to underserved communities.
The program's potential impact extends beyond mere convenience - it helps solve the "last mile" problem in food access for vulnerable populations. The inclusion of major pharmacy chains like Walgreens also supports holistic health access. This positions Uber as a key player in modernizing public assistance programs and could lead to additional government partnerships and social impact initiatives.
This move comes as part of Uber Eats' commitment to increase 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, a 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.

"We're dedicated to creating a flexible and convenient shopping experience for all customers, and we're proud to be the first retailer to accept SNAP payments through Uber Eats."
As Uber Eats continues to innovate and expand its services, the company remains dedicated to addressing food insecurity and fostering inclusive communities. This new payment option is a vital step in achieving that goal, removing barriers and allowing all people and families to make healthy choices.
"The expansion of SNAP EBT acceptance to Uber Eats breaks down barriers that prevent older adults from accessing healthy food, especially those facing transportation challenges or limited access to grocery stores," said Jessica Johnston, Senior Director of the Center for Economic Well-Being at the National Council on Aging. "This gives older adults more choices and flexibility, and it aligns with our mission to promote health and independence."
