SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps individuals and families afford groceries and access nutritious food. Yet understanding eligibility requirements, completing applications, and navigating the benefits system can be challenging.
The Southwest Food Coalition partners with Hunger Free Colorado to help Southwest Denver residents understand and access SNAP benefits. Our SNAP Navigator works directly with community members and local organizations to make the process more accessible and ensure people have the information and support they need.
SNAP Education and Application Assistance
SNAP Application Assistance
Our SNAP Navigator provides personalized assistance to help individuals and families understand eligibility requirements, complete applications, gather necessary documentation, and navigate next steps. Appointments are available in person or over the phone.
We partner with schools, food pantries, community organizations, and neighborhood groups to share information about SNAP benefits, eligibility, and application processes. Through presentations, outreach events, and direct conversations, we help community members understand their options and connect with available resources.
Navigating Changes to SNAP
SNAP rules and eligibility requirements can change. We help community members understand how changes may affect their benefits, including work requirements, eligibility rules, and renewal processes.
SNAP Education and Outreach
These programs are made possible by a grant from Healthy Food for Denver’s Kids Initiative through the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment.
