Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Salida, CO, is dedicated to uplifting low-income households by providing essential monthly food assistance benefits. Our mission is to ensure all residents have access to the nutrition they need for a healthy life. With benefits delivered through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, eligible participants can purchase a wide range of food items intended for human consumption, helping them maintain a balanced diet. We support working individuals and families, as eligibility is based on income levels, and a convenient online pre-screening tool is available to help determine eligibility. To apply for SNAP, residents can utilize the Colorado PEAK website, download the MyCOBenefits app, complete a paper application, or visit their local Hunger Free Colorado hotline. Once approved, benefits are typically accessible within 7 to 30 days, allowing seamless access to food assistance in the community.
