Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Pagosa Springs, CO, is dedicated to ensuring that low-income households have access to essential food assistance. This vital program offers monthly benefits designed to help individuals and families purchase nutritious food for their needs. Benefits are provided via an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, functioning much like a debit card, and can be used for a variety of food items intended for human consumption. Eligibility is available for working individuals and families, based on income levels. For those seeking food assistance, a convenient pre-screening tool is accessible online, and applications can be submitted through the Colorado PEAK website, the MyCOBenefits app, by mail, or through the Hunger Free Colorado Hotline. After approval, recipients will receive their EBT card, which allows for in-store purchases, enhancing food security for the community.
