Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Manitou Springs, CO, is dedicated to ensuring that low-income households can access the food they need for a healthy and balanced diet. By providing monthly benefits to eligible families, SNAP empowers Coloradans to purchase essential food items through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, facilitating dignity and choice in nutrition. This program welcomes all families, including those with jobs, to apply for food assistance regardless of their income level. Interested individuals can utilize an online pre-screening tool to determine their eligibility and can apply conveniently via the Colorado PEAK website, the MyCOBenefits app, or by mailing a paper application. Upon approval, benefits are typically activated within a few weeks, allowing recipients to purchase nutritious food items while navigating any restrictions on non-food items. Our mission is to support the nutritional needs of our community members, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthier life.
