The Giant Company recently announced that Pennsylvania customers who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will now be able to shop online for both grocery pickup and delivery via Giant Direct and Martin's Direct using their Pennsylvania Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) ACCESS card.

People in eligible low-income households can adopt more nutritious diets with SNAP, increasing their food purchasing power at grocery stores and supermarkets. Those who are eligible receive an EBT ACCESS Card to make food purchases.

Applications for SNAP and other public assistance programs can be submitted at http://www.compass.state.pa.us. On-site County Assistance Office (CAO) services are also available if clients cannot access services through the COMPASS website, via the myCOMPASS PA mobile app or by calling the Customer Service Centers at 877-395-8930.

To shop via Giant Direct or Martin's Direct, customers need to add their EBT Card, add their groceries to their online cart and then enter their PIN and pay for the items. When customers shop online, they can only use their SNAP benefits on the same items that are eligible when shopping in the store. Minimum order values will not apply to SNAP users, but pickup and delivery fees will be applied to each order.
