Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Conifer, CO, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of Colorado families. This essential nutrition program offers nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and valuable breastfeeding support at no cost to qualified participants. WIC aims to empower pregnant and breastfeeding women and families with children under 5 through comprehensive services that include nutrition education, financial assistance for nourishing food, and referrals to medical care, health insurance, housing, and childcare support. Families can access education on critical topics such as meal planning, managing picky eaters, and effectively balancing work and breastfeeding. To qualify for WIC, individuals must reside in Colorado, have a family income within the guidelines, and either be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have children under the age of 5. Those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid are automatically eligible, as are foster children under 5. Families looking to apply for WIC benefits can find assistance by contacting their local WIC clinic for more information.
