District of Columbia SNAP Online Resources

Updated June 27, 2021

(The following list of stores accepting SNAP for grocery pick-up and delivery was updated June 27, 2021. Our walk-through visual guides for SNAP online shopping [the booklet and pamphlet] were created in summer 2020, though the current process remains similar for each store.)

You can order groceries online for curbside pick-up or delivery using SNAP through Amazon, Giant Food, ALDI, Harris Teeter, and Safeway in the District of Columbia. All offer pick-up and delivery for online orders, except Amazon (only delivery) and Harris Teeter and Safeway (only pick-up). At some of these retailers, you can order and pay online using SNAP. At others, you can order online using SNAP, but must swipe your SNAP EBT card at the point of in-person pick-up or delivery. The USDA website lists all stores that accept SNAP payments online. To explore lists of stores accepting SNAP payments online and in-store for pick-up and delivery, check out these helpful resources from Cheapism, WRAL, How to Get On, and First Quarter Finance.

Our guides show how to order and purchase groceries online using SNAP at Amazon and ALDI (the first retailers that accepted SNAP online payments in DC). If you’d like more guidance on the process of ordering groceries online using SNAP at other retailers, please reach out to your county, the DC Department of Human Services, or the retailer!
