The collaboration aims to expand access to food delivery for low-income Americans, enhancing convenience and addressing food insecurity.

The initiative targets the 42 million Americans using SNAP, improving access especially for those in food deserts and with mobility issues.
Uber Eats plans to implement this feature across the U.S. by late 2024, promising widespread impact on food accessibility.
The partnership also aims to streamline the payment process on Uber Eats, maintaining the platform's seamless user experience.
