Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is dedicated to ensuring that low-income households in Eaton, CO, have access to the food they need for a healthy diet. By providing monthly benefits through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, SNAP helps families afford nutritious food essentials while fostering food security within the community. Eligible individuals and families, including those who are employed with qualifying incomes, can obtain benefits that can be used for a wide array of food items intended for human consumption. To explore your eligibility for food assistance, a convenient online pre-screening tool is available. Applications for SNAP can be completed online via the Colorado PEAK website, through the MyCOBenefits app, by submitting a paper application, or by reaching out to local resources. Approval for benefits typically takes between 7 to 30 days, and your EBT card will be sent to you afterward. While online purchases are currently limited, many options remain available to ensure you and your loved ones receive the necessary nutrition and support.
