Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is dedicated to supporting the health of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, in Golden, CO. This essential nutrition program provides free access to nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and comprehensive breastfeeding support to ensure families receive the care they need. WIC goes beyond just food assistance, offering financial aid for healthy food, referrals for medical and dental care, health insurance, and vital services tailored to benefit the entire family. Participants can engage in informative nutrition and health education workshops covering topics like meal planning, managing picky eaters, and navigating breastfeeding while returning to work. To qualify, participants should reside in Colorado, meet income guidelines, and be either pregnant, breastfeeding, or have young children. Those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid automatically qualify for WIC services. For assistance, families can reach out to their local WIC clinic to apply for benefits.
