Online Grocery Delivery Options for SNAP Recipients in Florida

Florida, like many other states, offers online grocery delivery options for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients. This article explores various online stores and platforms that accept SNAP benefits for delivery in Florida, helping those on assistance programs to access healthier food options more conveniently.

Current Online Retailers Accepting SNAP Benefits in Florida

As of the latest update, several online retailers in Florida have joined the program to provide SNAP benefits for delivery:

Amazon

Amazon allows SNAP recipients to use their benefits for eligible grocery items through Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market. To use SNAP benefits, customers must have an EBT card linked to their Amazon account. This means that eligible items can be purchased and delivered directly to your doorstep.

Walmart

Walmart accepts EBT for online grocery orders. You can place your order online and choose either delivery or curbside pickup. This makes it easier for SNAP recipients to order groceries without needing to make in-person visits.

Instacart

Instacart partners with various grocery stores in Florida, including Publix and Aldi. You can use your EBT card to pay for eligible items during checkout. However, it's important to note that delivery fees may apply.

Target

Target also accepts EBT for online grocery orders. Similar to Instacart, you can place your order online and choose delivery or pickup options. This provides flexibility for SNAP recipients who prefer online ordering.

Shipt

Shipt, another online grocery delivery app, partners with stores such as Publix to deliver groceries. Like Instacart, Shipt allows you to use your EBT card for eligible items, but consumers should be aware of any additional service fees.

Expanded Online Grocery Delivery Options

Since 2017, 38 states, including Florida, have been participating in Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) online delivery and pickup. Hawaii is the most recent addition to the list, with 7 more states planning to participate. This trend is expected to expand, providing more options for SNAP recipients.

Participation by retailers is not national or all locations within a state. Stores that partner with the program may vary in each city or town.
