To find stores that accept SNAP EBT near you, you can use the SNAP Retailer Locator provided by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. This tool allows you to locate nearby SNAP-authorized retailers by entering a street address, city and state, or zip code. You can then select a retailer or map point to get details and directions. The tool is designed to help SNAP recipients, but it can also be helpful for other government entities, community organizations, and others aiding SNAP recipients.
In addition to the SNAP Retailer Locator, there are other resources available to help you find stores that accept SNAP EBT. For example, Benefits Explorer and Helping Americans Find Help provide lists of stores that accept EBT/Food Stamp in specific locations. The National Council on Aging also provides a list of stores that take SNAP benefits, including grocery stores and supermarkets, specialty stores, farmers markets, local food co-ops, and convenience stores.
If you prefer to shop online, you can use Instacart to buy groceries at participating stores using your EBT SNAP card. Many states participate in the SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot, which allows EBT SNAP-eligible Instacart customers in the U.S. to pay for online grocery orders containing eligible items with a valid EBT card, in full or in part, from participating stores.

- SNAP Retailer Locator provided by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service
- Benefits Explorer
- Helping Americans Find Help

- Instacart (for online grocery orders)
