Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Colorado Springs, CO, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under the age of five through essential food assistance and nutrition support. Offering free nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and vital breastfeeding resources, WIC is committed to ensuring families receive the comprehensive care they need. Families can also access referrals for health care, child care, and other vital services, as well as participate in informative nutrition education covering topics such as meal planning and managing picky eaters. To qualify for WIC, families must live in Colorado, meet income guidelines, and either be pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a child under five years old. Those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid are automatically eligible for participation. Foster children under five are also welcome. To begin accessing these important benefits, local WIC clinics can provide guidance and support.
