Local businesses and pantries offer free food as SNAP benefits may lapse in Georgia

If SNAP funding lapses for the 1.4 million Georgians who utilize the benefits on Nov. 1, people can find food assistance from the places listed below.

DoorDash has launched an emergency response that will:

  • Deliver 1 million meals for free — supporting 300+ Project DASH food bank partners nationwide in November.
  • Waive delivery and service fees for an estimated 300,000 grocery orders for SNAP recipients at Sprouts, Dollar General, Schnucks, Food Lion, Giant Foods, The GIANT Company, Hannaford, Stop & Shop, Hy-Vee, Giant Eagle, and Wegmans.
  • Donate food from DashMart stores to local food banks.

Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia assists pantries across 21 counties in the region stock up on food. A list of nearby food banks can be found on their website.
