Get Support Through the WIC Program

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program provides free nutrition services to support the health of pregnant women, new moms, infants, and young children (up to age five).

When you join WIC, you’ll receive:

  • Personalized nutrition education

  • Breastfeeding support, including access to a Peer Counselor by text or phone

  • Referrals to health care, food assistance, and other community services

  • Nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables, milk, cheese, eggs, cereal, and dried beans or peanut butter—customized to meet your or your child’s specific needs

Breastfeeding is encouraged as the first food for babies, and WIC is here to help every step of the way.


Who Qualifies?

WIC eligibility is based on income, and many families qualify, including:

  • Pregnant women

  • Working parents and families

  • Caregivers (grandparents, kinship providers, foster parents)

  • People enrolled in Medicaid, SNAP (Food Stamps), or TANF

📊 Only 50% of eligible families in Colorado are currently enrolled—don’t miss out!
