Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also referred to as the Food Supplement Program (FSP) in Maryland, is dedicated to helping low-income individuals and families access the nourishment they need for a healthy life. Located in Olney, MD, SNAP provides monthly benefits that enable eligible households to purchase food, ensuring they can maintain proper nutritional levels. These benefits are conveniently distributed electronically through an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which functions like a debit or credit card. By focusing on food assistance, SNAP strives to alleviate food insecurity and improve the well-being of our community.
