Food Assistance Programs, Colorado

by SingleMom.com Leave a Comment

Food assistance for single moms in Colorado with low-income is available. Eligibility depends on the size of the household and the monthly income. The Colorado program guidelines state that unless federal exemption criteria is met, applicants for the Colorado food assistance program must work, apply for work, and/or accept offers of suitable work. Applicants must also participate in the Colorado Employment First activities. These activities include: workfare, adult basic education, GED preparation, literacy, college, vocational training, vocational rehabilitation, job search classes, and part-time work.

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Other programs poised to help single mothers include the Colorado WIC assistance program. WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children. WIC is a nutrition program that helps pregnant, post-partum, and breastfeeding mothers and children less than five years of age. Participants receive checks to cover the cost of healthy foods like milk, eggs, bread, fresh fruit and vegetables for example. Nutrition education and health screening are also vital parts of the program.

Food Banks
Many local jurisdictions in Colorado support food banks. Usually run by non-profit or charitable agencies, these food banks provide free or very low cost food for single moms and their families. In times of financial difficulty, these local food banks can make a significant difference in lowering a family’s food budget.
