Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Longmont, CO, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to low-income households, empowering them to access the nutritious food they need. Our program offers monthly benefits that can be used to purchase a wide variety of food items, ensuring that every Coloradan has the means to maintain adequate nutritional levels. Distributed through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that functions similarly to a debit card, these benefits are designed specifically for food purchases, excluding items such as alcohol and tobacco. Whether you are employed or not, you may still qualify for assistance based on your income. To determine your eligibility for food assistance, we recommend using our convenient online pre-screening tool. Applications can be submitted through the Colorado PEAK website, the MyCOBenefits app on your smartphone, or by completing a paper application. After approval, which typically takes 7 to 30 days, your EBT card will be mailed to you. While online purchasing is limited, some local retailers may offer options for using your card for pick-up orders. We encourage you to reach out to your county office for additional guidance and information about selecting an authorized representative to assist with purchases.
