Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Erie, CO, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of mothers, infants, and young children through essential nutrition assistance. Our program offers free nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and comprehensive breastfeeding support to families that qualify. We focus on ensuring that pregnant and breastfeeding women, along with children under the age of 5, receive the resources they need to thrive. In addition to food assistance, WIC provides valuable referrals for medical and dental care, health insurance, child care, and housing, forging connections that benefit the entire family. Our education initiatives cover crucial topics such as meal planning, maintaining a healthy weight, and budget-friendly grocery shopping to empower families with knowledge and skills. To qualify for WIC, you must reside in Colorado and meet specific income guidelines, with automatic eligibility for families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid. Foster children under five also qualify, ensuring that all eligible families can access our supportive services. Join us in our mission to foster healthier communities, one family at a time, by contacting your local WIC clinic for more information on how to apply.
