Derek Steele is the VP of customer strategy for Meijer. He says Meijer is happy to be able to extend the convenience of home delivery and pickup orders to its customers using SNAP benefits.

"We're excited to accept SNAP benefits across our Meijer Pickup and Delivery shopping experiences," Steele said. "We believe all customers should have access to personalized, convenient, digital shopping services and understand the added benefit this new payment capability provides."

 

Meijer Will Roll Out the Program in Other States Soon

According to the Progressive Grocer, Meijer plans to begin accepting benefit program payments such as SNAP in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Kentucky in the next few weeks.

"We hope the new capability brings convenience and access to all our customers when ordering groceries online."
