Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Erie, CO, is dedicated to supporting low-income households by providing essential food assistance to ensure that all Coloradans can access nutritious meals. This vital program offers monthly benefits that can be used to purchase a wide variety of food products through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, designed like a debit card specifically for food purchases. Eligible individuals and families, regardless of employment status, can apply online using the Colorado PEAK website, through the MyCOBenefits app, by submitting a paper application, or by contacting the Hunger Free Colorado Hotline for assistance. Applications generally yield results within 7 to 30 days, and upon approval, the EBT card will be mailed for future food purchases. While it currently does not support online shopping for most retailers, some locations may allow for pick-up orders. SNAP is committed to addressing food insecurity in our community and helping families thrive.
