Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Located in the heart of Usaaf Academy, Colorado, the Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is dedicated to enhancing food security for low-income households by providing essential food assistance. This important entitlement program ensures that families have access to the monthly benefits they need to purchase nutritious food items and maintain a healthy diet. Benefits are issued via an easy-to-use Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which functions like a debit card specifically for food purchases. SNAP supports individuals and families with jobs, as eligibility is based on income levels, allowing many to access vital resources even when employed. To explore qualification for food assistance, individuals can utilize an online pre-screening tool. Applications for SNAP can conveniently be submitted online through the Colorado PEAK website, through the MyCOBenefits app, by mailing a completed paper application, or by reaching out to the Hunger Free Colorado Hotline. Once approved, beneficiaries can expect to receive their EBT card within a few days, enabling them to buy food from authorized retailers across the state, helping to ensure that all Coloradans can secure the nourishment they deserve.
