Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Henderson, CO, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as young children under the age of 5, through essential nutrition support. Our Special Supplemental Nutrition Program offers free nutritious groceries, nutrition education, and breastfeeding assistance tailored to meet the needs of qualifying Colorado families. Participants benefit from personalized consultations, valuable resources for breastfeeding, and financial support to access healthy foods. We also provide vital referrals for medical and dental care, child care, housing, and lactation support, empowering families to lead healthier lives. Our educational programs cover a range of topics from meal planning to infant care, helping families navigate their unique challenges. Eligibility includes living in Colorado, being pregnant or breastfeeding, or having a child under 5 with a household income that meets state guidelines. Families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid automatically qualify for WIC, as do foster children under age 5.
