We raised $40M to help low-income families save on groceries.

Today, our tech is used at 100K stores in all 50 states. We grew TPV by 13x last year.

Now we’re announcing the the Forage app, a free tool that helps SNAP recipients check their EBT balance.

This week, expanded work requirements for SNAP start kicking in across the country.

Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, work requirements now extend to adults up to age 65, parents of children 14 and older, and other groups that were previously exempt.

RT @OfekLavian: Thrilled to announce our partnership with @DollarGeneral and @DoorDash to enable EBT grocery delivery at 16k+ stores nation…

[Ofek Lavian @OfekLavian]

Over 10,000 stores on Uber now accept EBT, delivering food to communities in need - including @Albertsons, @Safeway, @meijer, and @Walgreens .

Thank you @dkhos & @Uber for your partnership!

The 2024 election was decided in the grocery store.

Why? Grocery prices increased by over 21% since Biden took office in 2021.

Over 93% of Trump supporters and 81% of all voters listed inflation & the economy as the #1 issue during the 2024 election.

Inflation may have come down, but the cost of living remains painfully high. For 42 million Americans, EBT is a lifeline, and @joinforage is committed to ending hunger in America by expanding access to affordable food.

[Ofek Lavian @OfekLavian]

Excited to announce our partnership with @Gopuff, the leading Instant Commerce platform!

With today’s launch, EBT recipients can now use their benefits to receive groceries and everyday essentials in as fast as 15 minutes.

[Ofek Lavian @OfekLavian]

We’re making it official: EBT SNAP is now live on @UberEats! Consumers can now use SNAP benefits at stores including @Albertsons, @Walgreens, @Safeway, @Vons, and @jewelosco.

As part of our commitment to expand food access, EBT cardholders will receive free delivery for 3 months

Earlier this year, we announced that Forage had expanded beyond online payments to also include brick-and-mortar EBT payments.

This week, we unveiled our partnership with Toast to scale EBT SNAP payments in stores across the country.

Toast enables over 100k+ restaurants and local businesses with their POS and payments solutions. They're now expanding beyond restaurants to serve grocery and convenience stores, and this partnership between Forage and Toast allows them to accept EBT/SNAP payments nationwide and provide millions of low-income Americans the ability to spend their government benefits at their favorite local store.

This would not have been possible without the incredible work done behind the scenes by our teams at @ToastTab and Forage.

If you want to increase revenue by accepting EBT online with platforms such as Toast, DoorDash, Uber, and Shopify, learn more at the link in the @joinforage bio.
