Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Las Animas provides essential monthly benefits to help low-income households secure the food they need for a healthy lifestyle. Our mission is to promote food security for all residents by ensuring they have access to nutritious options. SNAP benefits are distributed through a secure Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, designed exclusively for purchasing qualifying food items, excluding alcohol and tobacco products. Regardless of employment status, individuals or families may qualify based on income levels. We encourage those seeking food assistance to utilize our online pre-screening tool and apply conveniently through the Colorado PEAK website, the MyCOBenefits mobile app, or by mail. After approval, beneficiaries typically receive their EBT card within 7 to 30 days. While online purchases are currently limited, some participating retailers, like Walmart, accept EBT for order pick-up. For additional support, including designating an authorized representative for purchases, please reach out to your local county office.
