Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Johnstown, CO, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to low-income households. Our mission is to ensure that every Coloradan has access to the nutrition they need for a healthy life. Through monthly benefits distributed via an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, eligible families can purchase food and food products that support their nutritional needs. We welcome both individuals and families, including those who are employed, to apply for assistance based on income eligibility. Qualifying for SNAP is easy with our online pre-screening tool, and you can apply through the Colorado PEAK website, the MyCOBenefits app, via mail with a paper application, or by contacting the Hunger Free Colorado Hotline. After approval, which typically takes between 7 to 30 days, your EBT card will arrive in the mail. While online purchases are not yet available in all locations, some Walmart stores allow for EBT card use for pick-up orders. For those needing assistance in making purchases, an authorized representative can be designated. Join us in our commitment to combat food insecurity and ensure that every resident in our community has access to nourishing food.
