Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also recognized as the Food Supplement Program (FSP) in Maryland, is dedicated to ensuring that low-income individuals and families in College Park have access to essential food assistance for maintaining good health. This vital program offers monthly benefits that empower households to purchase the nutritious food they need, ensuring they achieve adequate nutritional levels. Recipients receive their SNAP/FSP benefits through an easy-to-use Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, functioning like a debit or credit card, making it straightforward to access the resources necessary for a healthier life.
