Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Buena Vista, CO, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five. As a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, WIC offers nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding support, and essential referrals—all at no cost to qualifying families. Our mission is to provide families with the support they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle through nutrition education, meal planning, managing picky eaters, and budgeting for groceries. Eligible participants include Colorado residents who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have children under five, with household incomes below certain guidelines. Those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid automatically qualify for WIC benefits, as do foster children under five.
