FOOD:

• Double Up Food Bucks CO

  The Double Up Food Bucks program doubles the value of federal nutrition (SNAP or food stamps) benefits spent at participating markets and food retail stores, helping people bring home more healthy fruits and vegetables while supporting local farmers. The wins are three-fold: more families have access to fruits and vegetables, local farmers gain new customers, and more food dollars stay in the local economy. Click here for more information.

Colorado Non-Profits: Free or Low Cost Immigration Legal Services

Here is a directory of Colorado organizations that offer free or low cost immigration services. Representation is not guaranteed. The organizations listed have agreed to be included in this directory, but that does not mean they must represent you. You are encouraged to call several attorneys to find one who is willing to work with you and who you can afford. Representation is a mutual decision that is left to you and the attorney. No endorsement or recommendation is made of any organization or attorney. This directory is not an attorney referral service, but is merely offered to assist you in narrowing your choices in selecting an attorney.
