2 new Illinois retailers approved for SNAP recipients
CHICAGO - Gov. JB Pritzker announced Thursday that Illinois SNAP recipients can begin purchasing goods online from Sam’s Club and Meijer.
With these two stores included, LINK card users can now purchase groceries through 11 retail chains across Illinois.
"Every resident in Illinois deserves equitable access to healthy food options," Gov. Pritzker said in a statement. "This latest round of expansion for online SNAP retailers is helping make that a reality for thousands of SNAP customers across the state."
Illinois has about 1.8 million SNAP recipients. Gov. Pritzker made it possible for recipients to begin purchasing goods online at the beginning of the pandemic.
