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 supporting low-income residents in Takoma Park, MD, by ensuring they have access to essential nutrition. This vital program offers monthly benefits that empower eligible households to purchase the food necessary for maintaining a healthy diet. Benefits are conveniently provided through an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, functioning much like a debit or credit card, making it easier for families to buy the groceries they need for their well-being. SNAP is committed to reducing food insecurity and enhancing the quality of life for those who face financial challenges in our community.
