Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as the Food Supplement Program (FSP) in Maryland, is dedicated to supporting low-income individuals and families in Gaithersburg by providing essential food assistance to ensure good health and nutrition. SNAP delivers monthly benefits directly to qualifying households, empowering them to purchase the nutritious food they need through the convenience of an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which functions like a debit or credit card. With a focus on accessibility and dignity, SNAP is committed to alleviating food insecurity and enhancing the overall well-being of our community.
