The Georgetown County Department of Social Services, located in Georgetown, South Carolina, provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps. SNAP is a federally funded program that helps people buy the food they need for good health.
To be eligible for SNAP benefits, households must meet certain income and resource limits. The amount of SNAP benefits a household receives is based on the household’s size and income. SNAP benefits are provided on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that can be used to purchase food at authorized retail stores.
