Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a vital nutrition assistance program serving Fruita, CO, dedicated to ensuring that pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children under the age of five receive the essential support they need for a healthy start. We provide access to nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and valuable education on breastfeeding and parenting. Our services include not only food assistance to supplement your family's groceries but also referrals for medical care, health insurance, and childcare, creating a comprehensive support network for families in need. WIC is committed to empowering families through education on meal planning, healthy weight maintenance, and tips on managing picky eaters, all tailored to fit your lifestyle. Eligibility is straightforward: if you live in Colorado, meet income guidelines, or are receiving assistance through programs like TANF, Food Stamps, or Medicaid, you may qualify. We welcome foster children under age five as well. To learn more about how WIC can support you and apply for benefits, please reach out to your local WIC clinic.
