Instacart, the San Francisco-based grocery delivery company, has launched an all-new Supplemental Nutrition Access Program (SNAP) eligibility tool that lets consumers anonymously check whether they qualify for benefits in less than 60 seconds, the company announced in a Thursday press release. Powered by Advocatia Solutions, Inc., the new tool also allows customers to find relevant state resources to make the enrollment process more efficient.
“Everyone deserves access to fresh, nutritious food, and we're committed to using the power of Instacart to break down barriers that too often stand in the way,” Dani Dudeck, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Instacart, said in a statement. “With food insecurity at an all-time high in the U.S., affecting more than one in every eight people, it's more important than ever to raise awareness of critical assistance programs like SNAP that can help families meet their needs. By introducing our SNAP eligibility screener, we're making it simpler for families to find out if they qualify and take the first steps toward putting more food on their tables.”
