SNAP
What is SNAP?
SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as Food Stamps.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (or SNAP), is a monthly allocation of dollars for individuals and families who need help getting enough food. Each month, your food credit is loaded onto a debit card, which allows you to buy nutritious food from grocery stores and other food retailers. If you are struggling to make ends meet, SNAP can help you put food on the table and in the cupboard if you meet the eligibility requirements. SNAP is federally funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Human Services manages and directs the program in Colorado.
Even if you are also receiving assistance from food pantries and soup kitchens, you may still apply for SNAP. This benefit is available for people of all ages.
