Avoid Scams
- No one from SNAP will ever call or text you to ask for your card number, PIN, or personal information.
- Do not share your EBT card number or PIN with anyone, not even if they claim to be from the government.
- Do not pay for help – You should never have to pay to apply for or get help with your SNAP benefits.
- Do not click links on social media, the internet, or your email. Go directly to trusted websites – co.gov/PEAK
- Report suspicious calls or messages immediately to your local Department of Human Services office.
Receiving Benefits
- Continue to apply and recertify – counties are continuing to process paperwork so you will be ready to receive benefits as soon as funding is available.
- Change your PIN often – especially if you think your card might have been skimmed or stolen.
- Check your balance only through official channels – EBTEdge app, ebtedge.com, or 1-888-328-2656.
- Find other forms of food assistance locally.
How to Help
- Donate money directly to area food banks. A dollar goes further than a can. Food banks can stretch $1 into nearly $6 of food, or about three full meals, by buying at wholesale prices and in bulk.
- Donate food to your local pantry or food bank.
- Canned tuna & chicken
- Low-sodium nuts
- Chili & soups
- Quinoa
- Oats/Oatmeal
- All-purpose flour
- Maseca (masa) flour
- Brown and/or white rice
- Fruit canned in 100% juice
- Low-sodium canned vegetables
- Cereal with whole grains and low-sugar
- Canned low-sodium black, kidney, pinto, and white beans
- Canned or boxed meals & “meal-makers”
- Shelf-stable milk, powdered milk, or milk alternatives (almond, coconut, oat, etc.)
- Volunteer during a food drive or at a food pantry in your area.
