Program Description
The Colorado State Food Stamps Program assists low-income individuals and families who need assistance purchasing food. Individuals and families should apply for food stamp benefits at their local county department of social services. The Food Stamp Program is offered in at least one location in all Colorado counties. The county worker will interview applicants and determine the household eligibility for benefits. They will provide the applicant with a Quest card that can be used to purchase groceries at any participating grocery store or other retailer.
