How To Use SNAP Online In Ohio

Presented By McDonald’s

The Center For Community Solutions and Ohio Association of Foodbanks are passing along information to help those on SNAP/EBT to use their Ohio Direction Card to buy groceries online.

Ohio has expanded online shopping for SNAP/EBT in response to COVID-19, although at this time, SNAP benefits cannot be used to pay for fees. You must pay fees with another form of payment, like a credit card or gift card.

The following retailers in Ohio are currently accepting online SNAP/EBT benefits:

Aldi’s, Amazon Fresh, BJ’s, Earth Fare, Giant Eagle, and Walmart Grocery.

Amazon offers delivery only; you do not need a Prime account to shop from Amazon. Aldi and Earth Fare offer delivery and curbside pick-up through InstaCart only.

Giant Eagle and Walmart offer delivery and curbside pick-up.

BJ’s Wholesale Club requires a membership; BJ’s offers delivery and curbside or in-store pick-up.

Kroger does not currently support online shopping, but you can use your SNAP/EBT to pay at curbside pick-up.

Throughout the pandemic, retailers have promoted one-time discounts and special offers for remote shopping, including covering delivery fees. Check with your retailer of choice to find out more.
