Here is the latest information from our local health department about the current status of COVID-19 in Medina County.
Walmart is now accept online grocery orders at all of the company’s 2,500-plus pickup locations. For SNAP customers, the process of placing an online order is as simple as it is for those paying with debit or credit. They enter their ZIP codes on the  Walmart Grocery website  to select their local store, and then shop for groceries online by adding items to their cart. At checkout, they select a pickup time and choose “EBT card” as their payment option.

When they arrive at the store, they’ll park in the customer spaces marked for Grocery Pickup orders and give their EBT benefit card to the store associate who brings their order to the car.
