In Boulder County, just like everywhere else, some people are unable to buy nutritious, healthy food for themselves and their families. Among other things, Food Assistance can help lift individuals and families out of poverty, and improve access to healthy food. Submitting an application is easy, and we’ll walk you through the process.
Food Assistance, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps), helps individuals and families buy food that is healthy and nutritious. Food Assistance won’t meet all of your food needs but will go a long way toward a healthy diet.
