Food insecurity can happen to anyone, at any time, for a variety of reasons.
Fortunately, there is a variety of resources to get the help you and your family might need.
Eligibility requirements apply to some programs.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income households in Colorado purchase food. It provides a monthly benefit that helps families and individuals buy the food they need for good health. The benefit is provided based on income, resources and number of individuals in the household. Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards are used to receive the benefit and can be used similar to debit cards at participating stores.
