Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Durango, CO, is a vital nutrition program dedicated to supporting families by providing access to free nutritious groceries, tailored nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and additional essential services. Our mission is to ensure the health of pregnant and breastfeeding women and young children under five by offering personalized nutrition consultations, vital breastfeeding resources, and financial assistance for healthy foods that supplement existing diets. We also connect families with crucial referrals for medical and dental care, health insurance, child care, and housing, along with comprehensive education on topics such as meal planning, healthy weight maintenance, and navigating the challenges of new parenthood.
