Amazon<\/a> and Kroger<\/a> both offer local food delivery services helpful to low income individuals and families. Many individuals on a fixed income and\/or without reliable transportation struggle with grocery shopping, sometimes even wheeling grocery carts to the closest bus stop. Low cost and FREE delivery services for groceries can be a big help. Amazon and Kroger both offer programs to deliver groceries to one’s home in as little as two hours or the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both programs allow you to select from home, online, which grocery items you would like to have delivered. The Kroger program applies to grocery items found in local Kroger stores, while the Amazon program applies to grocery items found in local Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh stores, as well as pantry staples on Amazon.com. Those who have SNAP benefits can use their EBT card for purchases with either program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon offers several ways to save for EBT card holders. By registering an EBT card, customers gain access to Amazon’s grocery delivery without needing a full Prime membership. EBT cardholders can opt for a discounted $4.99 per month grocery subscription that provides unlimited free delivery on orders over $35 from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods. Additionally, free standard shipping on eligible Amazon.com pantry groceries is available on orders over $25. To learn more and enroll, visit the Amazon SNAP EBT Page<\/a>, where you can register your EBT card using their online portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kroger’s Boost program requires an annual membership fee of $69 (or $8.99 per month), for free next-day delivery on orders over $35 in value. Alternatively, Kroger participants can pay a $99 annual membership fee (or $12.99 per month) that guarantees unlimited FREE same-day delivery on Kroger food orders over $35. Helping someone pay these registration fees is a great way to help local individuals and families in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those that drive, additional benefits of the Kroger program include two times the fuel points for every $1 spent at Kroger, for up to a discount of $1 per gallon of gas at Kroger Gas Stations. Additional benefits also include expanded savings on Kroger food brands such as “Private Selection” and the “Simple Truth” organic brand, offered through coupons mailed to program participants. You can enroll in the Kroger program using their online membership portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
