Excited for Forage to expand EBT as a payment method on DoorDash, enhancing access to food for the 42 million Americans receiving EBT benefits. For many, especially those living in food deserts or facing mobility challenges, grocery delivery is not just a convenience—it's essential. Congratulations! #Investment #FoodAccess #SNAPEBT #DoorDash #Forage
