ALBANY SNAP recipients will be able to purchase grocery items from Aldi and get them delivered to their home via the Instacart app for free for a limited time, thanks to a new partnership between the grocery store chain and the grocery delivery service.
The partnership means Aldi is joining Walmart, Amazon, and ShopRite in the Capital Region who are also providing grocery delivery services to SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) recipients during a pandemic which has created more barriers for those who are food insecure to get food safely.
