Food Lion has announced that North Carolina Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants are now able to redeem their electronic benefit transfer (EBT) benefits online at Food Lion through Food Lion To Go.

According to a statement from Food Lion, "SNAP participants simply link their SNAP/EBT food card information as a form of payment then select the eligible fresh food and grocery items needed to nourish their family just as they would if shopping in store.

Food Lion To Go allows customers to place an order and pick up their groceries on the same day.

“We’re excited to offer our North Carolina neighbors using SNAP/EBT this new option to shop however they prefer, in-store or online,” said Evan Harding, director of digital and e-commerce at Food Lion. “Food Lion To Go allows customers the ability to shop from wherever is most convenient, while still ensuring they have access to fresh, nutritious food to nourish their families. It’s one of the many ways Food Lion makes grocery shopping easy, fresh and affordable for our neighbors.”

This is in addition to their MVP discounts, in-store promotions and weekly savings specials.
