Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Florence, CO provides essential food assistance to low-income households, helping ensure that all residents have access to adequate nutrition. This vital program offers monthly benefits distributed via an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, functioning like a debit card for purchasing approved food items. From fresh produce to pantry staples, SNAP benefits support families in maintaining a healthy diet, while exclusions apply to non-food items like alcohol and cigarettes. Whether you're working or not, you may still qualify based on your income level. To find out if you're eligible for food assistance, you can use our convenient online pre-screening tool. Applications for SNAP can be submitted through the Colorado PEAK website, via the MyCOBenefits app, by mailing a paper application, or by reaching out to the Hunger Free Colorado Hotline. After approval—typically within 7 to 30 days—your EBT card will be sent to you, allowing you to shop for nutritious food options and support your household's dietary needs.
