Colorado SNAP Recipients Can Now Get $60 Monthly for Fresh Produce Through New Program
Colorado families receiving SNAP benefits can now stretch their food dollars further with a new healthy eating initiative that provides up to $60 per month in reimbursements for fresh fruits and vegetables purchases.
The program aims to make nutritious produce more accessible for thousands of Colorado households while supporting local farmers markets and grocery retailers across the Pikes Peak region, Denver metro, and rural communities throughout the state.
How the Program Works for Colorado Families
According to the Colorado Department of Human Services, SNAP recipients can receive reimbursements when purchasing qualifying fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables without added sugars, fats, or oils. The program works at participating retailers including:
- Local grocery stores across Colorado
- Farmers markets in Colorado Springs and Denver metro
- Qualifying food co-ops and small markets
- Authorized farm stands and produce vendors
Supporting Colorado Communities
This initiative serves multiple community benefits by:
- Helping Colorado families access fresh, healthy food options
- Supporting local farmers and produce vendors
- Keeping food dollars circulating in Colorado's economy
- Promoting better nutrition for Colorado children and families
Current SNAP recipients can learn more about eligibility and participating locations by visiting the Colorado SNAP benefits portal or contacting their county human services office.
For Colorado Springs and Denver metro residents, the program adds significant monthly buying power for fresh produce, particularly valuable as many families continue facing rising grocery costs while trying to maintain healthy eating habits.
