Walgreens announced a new collaboration with Instacart to offer online SNAP/EBT payment acceptance at more than 7,500 Walgreens stores nationwide, including over 100 Duane Reade locations in New York. Customers can now purchase thousands of SNAP-eligible products for same-day delivery via Instacart. 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.

Currently, most Walgreens stores accept SNAP/EBT for in-person purchases. 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.
