Many in our community rely on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits to help put food on the table and with the current federal government shutdown, there are many who are facing uncertainty. The USDA has instructed all states to pause November SNAP benefits as the shutdown continues. We understand this change may create challenges for some families, and we want you to know that support is available.
Some individuals and families may experience a temporary loss or delay in benefits while the government shutdown continues. If this affects you or someone you know, the information below can help you find local food assistance and stay updated on the status of SNAP benefits.
Adams County Human Services is closely monitoring the situation and providing regular updates on the following webpage:

We encourage you to also sign up for their Human Services Navigator Newsletter to receive timely email updates about changes to benefits and available resources.
If you have any questions, you can always call the Adams County Human Services Call Center at 720.523.2700.
To make finding help easier, Adams County and their community partners have created a guide with local resources and support. You can view or download the guides below or head over to their website: Adams County Food Resources.
If you need a place to print this guide, check the status of your benefits, or explore local resources, your local Anythink library is here for you. Our spaces offer free Wi-Fi, wireless printing, and a welcoming environment where you can take a moment to rest and recharge — even if all you need is a quiet moment by the fireplace.
