This page lists local organizations in Longmont, Colorado that provide free legal help, food and social services. Statewide programs are described on the Colorado page.

Legal aid

Colorado Legal Services provides free civil legal help to low-income Coloradans who qualify, including help with housing, family law, public benefits and consumer problems. Its Boulder office serves Boulder County, which includes Longmont, and takes family law cases from Broomfield County. Call the intake line or apply online to start an application.¹

Food

OUR Center runs a Community Market in Longmont where eligible participants can pick up free groceries and household essentials once a week. Bring a photo ID and proof of residency in the St. Vrain Valley School District on a first visit. Financial help needs proof of at least 60 days of residency in the district, and the service area excludes Erie. The center runs a free Community Cafe with breakfast and lunch on weekdays.²

Social services

Boulder County Housing and Human Services helps county residents apply for SNAP food assistance, Colorado Works, Medicaid and other benefits. Most people apply online through PEAK. Its Longmont office sits at 515 Coffman Street, with a drop box on the west, Terry Street side. The office hours come from a county resource guide, not from the county benefits page. Call ahead to confirm hours before a visit.³

HOPE, short for Homeless Outreach Providing Encouragement, helps people in Longmont who are unhoused or at risk of losing housing, with street outreach, basic needs, shelter navigation and case management. It runs the Coordinated Entry screening point in Longmont, which is the first step to county homeless services. Call the office line or walk in during outreach center hours.⁴
