Coborn’s Now Taking SNAP Benefits on Grocery Deliveries

(KNSI) – A grocery store chain based in St. Cloud will start taking supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Electronic Benefits Transfers for deliveries.

Coborn’s Inc., the parent company of Coborn’s, Cash Wise and Marketplace Foods, says it recently got approval from the federal government to accept EBT and SNAP payments online for same-day delivery using Instacart on the company’s mobile app. The company says the program will let EBT and SNAP participants use their benefits to buy fresh food and pantry staples from the Coborn’s family of stores.

“Bringing food access and fresh food options to our guests has always been a top priority for us, and we are thrilled to finally offer this long-awaited enhancement in collaboration with Instacart,” said Dennis Host, Senior Vice President/Marketing and Communications for Coborn’s, Inc. “We are always looking for ways to offer our guests a quality online shopping experience, and the opportunity to offer EBT SNAP payment options online removes transportation barriers that many families in our communities are faced with. This will allow them greater access to fresh food faster.”
