Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Colorado Springs is dedicated to helping low-income families gain access to nutritious food. Our program offers monthly benefits that empower households to purchase essential food items through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, making food assistance both practical and accessible. SNAP aims to ensure that every resident in Colorado has access to adequate nutrition by providing benefits applicable to a wide range of food products, while ensuring compliance with guidelines on eligible purchases. Qualification is open to individuals and families, including those with jobs, based on income levels. To determine your eligibility, you can easily utilize our online pre-screening tool or apply through various methods including the Colorado PEAK website, the MyCOBenefits app on your smartphone, or by sending in a paper application. Once approved, your EBT card will typically arrive within a few weeks, enabling you to shop for the food your family needs. If assistance is needed, you can authorize a representative to use your EBT card on your behalf. We believe that accessible food assistance is a cornerstone for healthy living in our community.
