Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Colorado Springs, CO, is a vital nutrition program dedicated to supporting pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, by providing essential food assistance and comprehensive nutritional education at no cost. Our mission is to promote the health and well-being of families by offering personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding support, and financial resources to access healthy groceries that complement what families already purchase. In addition, WIC connects families with referrals for medical care, health insurance, child care, and housing services, ensuring that comprehensive support is readily available. Our educational programs cover important topics such as meal planning, managing picky eaters, and balancing work with breastfeeding. Colorado residents who meet income eligibility criteria or receive benefits from programs like TANF, Food Stamps, or Medicaid may qualify for WIC. Additionally, foster children under five are automatically eligible. For those interested in participating, please reach out to your local WIC clinic to apply for benefits.
