Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Buena Vista, CO, is dedicated to supporting low-income households by providing essential food assistance that promotes nutritional well-being. Our program ensures that all residents of Colorado have the ability to purchase necessary food items through monthly benefits delivered via an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which functions like a debit card for eligible food products. SNAP is available to individuals and families, including those who are working, based on their income level. To determine eligibility for food assistance, we offer an accessible online pre-screening tool. Applications can be submitted conveniently online, through the MyCOBenefits app, via paper mail, or by reaching out to the Hunger Free Colorado Hotline. Upon approval—which typically occurs within 7 to 30 days—your EBT card will be sent to you, allowing you to access needed food resources and improve your family’s nourishment. Please reach out to your local county office for further assistance with the program or to designate an authorized representative to help with purchases.
