ALDI has joined the USDA pilot program allowing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, recipients to buy groceries online.
It's available at all Pennsylvania ALDI locations, offering same-day grocery pick-up and delivery through Instacart as available.
“Pennsylvania joined the online SNAP purchasing pilot to increase the number of ways SNAP recipients across Pennsylvania could safely shop for fresh groceries and pantry staples and help mitigate the need to leave their home and be in public during the public health crisis,” said DHS Secretary Teresa Miller.
“Many SNAP recipients are older and may have chronic health conditions, and the addition of ALDI to this pilot gives them another option to access quality, healthy foods while keeping themselves safe from COVID-19.”
The four other approved retailers, Amazon, the Fresh Grocer, Shoprite and Walmart have collectively seen more than 54-million-dollars in online SNAP purchases by Pennsylvanians since the pilot launched in the commonwealth in June.
