As families continue to experience the financial hardships due to Covid-19; the budget for groceries becomes smaller and smaller. But there may be programs that can help.
One of these programs is known as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), formerly known as food stamps, helps low-income households buy the food they need for good health. Once a family is approved to receive this benefit, the benefit card may be used at all participating grocery stores in their area. As a response to Covid-19, SNAP benefits can also be used online now! You will be able to shop online at Amazon and Walmart (delivery fees may still apply).
Eligibility is based on household size, household income, and household expenses. Applications are submitted online and processed within a 30 day period.
An experienced Catholic Charities team member can help. Clients may call our automated hotline at 301-453-5560 and someone will return the call within 24 hours!

For this round of funding, the County has partnered with several community non-profit organizations to assist county landlords and tenants with completing the application and uploading it to the proper on-line portal. Information on how to apply for rental assistance is here: https://www.
