Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Estes Park, CO, is dedicated to helping low-income households secure the food they need for a healthy and balanced diet. This essential initiative aims to ensure that all Coloradans have access to adequate nutrition through monthly benefits that are provided via an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. Eligible participants can use their EBT cards to purchase a variety of food items while adhering to guidelines that exclude alcohol, tobacco, and certain non-food products. Employment does not disqualify individuals or families from receiving assistance; eligibility is based on income levels. To find out if you qualify for food assistance, you can utilize our online pre-screening tool. Applications for SNAP can be submitted conveniently online at the Colorado PEAK website, through the MyCOBenefits app, via traditional mail with a paper application, or over the phone through the Hunger Free Colorado Hotline. After approval, which takes between 7 to 30 days, your EBT card will be sent to you, requiring an additional 7 to 10 days for delivery. While online shopping is limited, some Walmart locations allow for EBT-enabled pick-up orders. We encourage you to reach out to your county office for further information on authorized representatives who can shop on your behalf.
