Black People Are Not Spending 8 Billion a Year in SNAP Benefits on DoorDash

Claim

Black people are spending 8 billion a year in SNAP benefits on DoorDash. 

Original Post

Fact

There is no data to back the claim that Black people are spending 8 billion in SNAP benefits per year on DoorDash. 

According to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, white people represent the largest racial group of SNAP recipients in the United States, and the majority of SNAP recipients are not Black. 

DoorDash allows users to order eligible grocery and pantry items with their SNAP benefits, not fast food. This service is used by people of all backgrounds.
