Hotline Referral Program

Help is just a phone call away with the Hotline Referral Program.

Through the Hotline Referral Program, you can screen and refer clients or patients with food insecurity to our Food Resource Hotline through an online referral form. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will follow up to connect your client or patient to available nutrition programs and resources.

Starting your referral partnership is quick and easy, just email Carly Caprio, our Hotline Manager, to get started.

What is the Food Resource Hotline?

The free Food Resource Hotline (855-855-4626) is open Monday-Thursday 8am-4:30pm with extended hours on Wednesday from 8am-6pm and helps Coloradans across the state connect with food and nutrition resources. The Hotline is statewide, toll-free and available to all Coloradans, regardless of legal status, in 150+ languages. All caller information is confidential.

Our Hotline Navigators:

Help Coloradans navigate federal and charitable food programs
Screen callers for all federal nutrition assistance programs
Assist Coloradans with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) applications, by phone
Provide geographically-based referrals based on each caller’s needs

Online Referral Form

Completing our online referral form on a client’s behalf will notify us to reach out. Please note that the form is primarily for medical providers and partnering community organizations. For the individual referral form, visit our Find Food page.

Hotline Referral Form

The Food Resource Hotline navigators screen Coloradans for federal nutrition programs (e.g. SNAP, WIC, TEFAP, NSLP). We provide one-on-one support in submitting applications, redeterminations and change reports for SNAP. We also refer Coloradans to food resources in their community (e.g. food pantries, meal sites) and provide important site information such as hours of operation, address and phone number.
