Food Stamps

Food Stamps in Grand Junction, CO, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is a government assistance program that provides supplemental aid to low-income individuals and families to help them purchase food. SNAP benefits are issued through an Electronic Benefit Transfer card, similar to a debit card, and can be used to buy food for household consumption or seeds and plants for growing food. Applicants are required to complete application forms, undergo an interview, and provide proof of household circumstances.

SNAP is administered by the Mesa County Department of Human Services and applications can be submitted in person, by mail, by fax, or online through Colorado PEAK. The program is designed to ensure that low-income people have access to nutritious food for good health. It does not cover non-food items, ready-to-eat hot foods, or food marketed to be heated in the store.
