Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) stands as a vital resource for low-income households in Basalt, CO, offering essential monthly benefits to ensure that all residents have access to nutritious food. Designed to support individuals and families in maintaining their dietary needs, SNAP provides benefits that are accessible via an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, functioning like a debit card for groceries. Eligible items include a wide range of food products intended for human consumption, while restrictions apply to alcohol, tobacco, and non-food items. Whether working or not, families can find support through SNAP based on their income level. For those seeking assistance, a convenient pre-screening tool and application options—including online at the Colorado PEAK website, through the MyCOBenefits app, or via paper application—make it easy to get started. Once approved, your EBT card will be mailed directly to you, allowing you to shop for necessary food items at local markets. We are committed to empowering Coloradans with the resources needed for a healthy diet, promoting food security across our community.
