Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Telluride is dedicated to ensuring that low-income households have the resources they need to secure nutritious food. As an essential entitlement program, SNAP provides monthly benefits via an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, making it easier for families and individuals to purchase food products vital for their well-being. This program is open to all eligible Coloradans, including those who are employed, and it serves as a critical lifeline to maintain adequate nutrition. To determine your eligibility for food assistance, a convenient pre-screening tool is available online. Applications for SNAP can be submitted through the Colorado PEAK website, the MyCOBenefits app, or via traditional mail with a paper application. Once approved, benefits are typically accessible through your EBT card within a few weeks. While SNAP EBT cards cannot be used for online purchases in most cases, some local retailers might offer limited options. We encourage community members to reach out to their county office for further assistance and more information about our services.
