“As COVID-19 has greatly impacted the grocery shopping experience, New Jersey is allowing SNAP participants to use an online shopping platform for contactless grocery shopping. Starting this week, New Jersey SNAP customers can use the click and collect approach at participating grocery outlets. This is a convenient tool for customers who participate in this lifeline program amid stay-at-home orders.
“SNAP is dedicated to feeding New Jersey’s hungry, especially in times of crisis and economic uncertainty. The collaboration between federal and state officials and the food industry to fast track this digital solution will allow easy access for participants as more NJ supermarkets are accepted into the program. This global pandemic has caused an explosion of growth in eCommerce grocery sales; SNAP participants can now finally benefit.”
