Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Calhan, CO, is dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, through comprehensive food assistance and nutrition education. This vital program offers free services including personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding support, and financial aid to access nutritious groceries, helping families maintain a healthy lifestyle. In addition, WIC connects families with essential resources such as medical and dental referrals, health insurance guidance, and childcare support, ensuring holistic care for households in need. To benefit from WIC, applicants must reside in Colorado, meet specific income criteria, and either be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a child under five. Those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid automatically qualify for WIC benefits. Foster children under age five are also eligible.
