Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Palisade is dedicated to ensuring that low-income households have access to the nutritious food they need. This vital program offers monthly benefits to assist families in purchasing food, helping to promote better health and well-being within the community. SNAP benefits are provided through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, functioning like a debit card specifically for groceries. Eligible items include a wide variety of food products intended for human consumption, while restrictions apply to items like alcohol and tobacco. Incomes from employment do not disqualify individuals or families, making food assistance accessible to many. To check your eligibility and access this essential program, you can utilize the online pre-screening tool or apply through various methods, including the Colorado PEAK website, the MyCOBenefits app, or by submitting a paper application. Upon approval, your EBT card will be sent to you, ensuring you can begin accessing food assistance as soon as possible. Together, we can work towards a healthier Colorado.
